:oops: Please no one stone me for this question.....but :oops:

Has anyone ever dyed a "Real" MKVII???
I saw the dying instructions elsewhere on this forum and wondered if it would work on a canvis bag,or just the WPG Bag.
The Canadian Bag I got is kinda faded and just wondered if it could be dyed. :roll:

You probably could, but who wants to destroy a piece of history like that. I mean, after all, we are fans of the most famous Archaeologist of all time (after Howard Carter, who, as everyone knows, Indy met twice before becoming an archaeologist). :junior: -IJ

It can, trust me. :wink:
In fact, I tried it on a Canadian bag that was already destroyed and not very usable anyways. (Broken snaps, rips and tears and so on.) I know this might violate with the code of honor but this bag had to meet its maker anyways, so why not donate it to science? :D

The result? Just as good as with a WPG bag.

I probably shouldn't have mentioned this considering my own health...
:wink:

To help you out: It works, but I wouldn't tamper with it myself if it's a keeper.

Regards,
Swindiana

I also have dyed an original bag. After removing all of the remaining stains I had bleached the bag nearly white. It was a great success, but later down the road I did part with it. It actually was one of the best bags I came across, since it was of course... green.

I have dyed the bag strap on the WPG bag, and it turned out pretty well.
