Yeah, you'll have to pardon the thread title. I am trying to find a royal blue slick butt, 12-14" long. Does anyone make them? I want to stay away from an aluminum unibutt. Thanks!

Steve

Back when I used to play lacrosse, we used to dye our heads of our nylon sticks school colors. We actually had pretty sucsessful results! We would get press on stickers(the style with just silhouettes) and write names numbers etc. We had them multi colored pretty fancy stuff!!

I would be curious to see how well Rit Dye would cover the black butt. If it is at all sucsessful I could only imagine the rods we will be seeing!

As a tip if you try this method we used to add abit(I forget the amount) of white vinegar to the Rit, supposedly it helped the Dye stick. Who Knows!! High School Tips!!
