JIMMAY Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 I am looking to dye some fir, and plan on using blueberry kool aid as the base colour... only issue is, I've check safeway and superstore and cannot find the stuff. Does anyone know where to buy it in Calgary? Cheers. Quote
Tungsten Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 Oh sorry i thought this was about things that go well with vodka. Try walmart. Quote
Kingfisher Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 Not sure where your going to find the blueberry flavored ones. I have dyed many feathers and fur with Koolaid. The only thing I'd suggest is that you should add in 1/2 cup of vinegar to your mixture. It seems to help with setting the color. I know some people that even stick their stuff in the microwave to get a quicker dye set. But I'm OK with leaving my stuff sit overnight. Good luck with your search. Rob Quote

Found out Ice Blue creates a really nice sliver doctor blue.... or atleast that is what it looks like in the glass. Going to try it on the weekend Quote
