Rit dye. For consistency,use the same bath for all guides you want done, at the same time. No matter how many rods you will build with them. I would advise against boiling your water,mixing in the dye,and immediately immersing them. Let the dye bath cool off some first. Otherwise you may be breaking down the glue holding the aluminum oxide in the nylon retaining ring. That is a failure waiting to happen. Re: perfection guide

Vinegar will help set the dye permanently. If you do not employ it, you may find your dye to wash out in wet weather. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
