I used RITE brand powered dye on my F-16 canopy. Here's what I did;

-fill a pot with the amount of water described in the instructions
-let it start to warm up, then sprinkle in the powder, stiring as you pour it in
-heat the mixture to 140 deg, keep stiring.
-have the sink tap running with cold water
-over the sink (have a helper) pour the mix into the canopy, swirling it around to cover all the edges.
-swirl for a minute, pour back into pot then immediatly place canopy under cold water and rinse out the mix. Wipe dry.

If it's not dark enough repeat. I did mine about 4-5 times before I got to a nice light tint that I wanted. The reason for the cold water is to cool down the canopy so it doesn't get deformed and to get rid of the mix so it doesn't leave a darker spot anywhere on the canopy.

This is just the way I did mine and there might be many other ways of doing it.

Hope this helps.
