I am wanting a darker shade on a canopy that I have but not sure of the colors of RIT that I use and of how much of each. Thanks Rick

Check out this posting, it has some tinting info on it. The F-16 that has the tinted canopy is sweet.

Add salt if you do the ritz thing. Won't take otherwise. Some plastics won't take the dye no matter what you do.
