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

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.
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?
The result? Just as good as with a WPG bag.
I probably shouldn't have mentioned this considering my own health...
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.
