Sure ,
okay I picked up some rose pedal pink powder RIT Dye , kinda sorta gloss over directions boiled some water on the stove ,tossed in the scales ,dumped the pouch of dye powder ,waited until it boiled a tad stirred for 2-3 minutes ,pull out scales ,rinsed scales off until water was clear and let dry on a paper towel and then once dry ,I installed the scales back on to the DT4 , after job was completed I glossed over directions again and in small print mention something about using less dye for lighter shade of pink
o-well wife likes it ,so I am the Bomb in the house hold until something breaks

Do these scales not have the same issues with RIT dye as the Izula ? Something about the liners coming off or something....?

Hmmm ,their are no liners on the canvas micarta for the 3 or 4 or 5
