Anybody tried dying the canopy? He's been soaking his in black Rit dye for 4 days and it's still not very dark....
If you used the directions from this thread about 20 pages ago.... heat is the key....
I tried once using hot tap water.... having a small child in the house, our tap water is only at about 120 degrees.... really didn't get dark at all....

tried again, but used boiling water to bring the temp up to 140 degrees and it took the dye very quickly.....

try again with warm water(140f) and it should do fine......
