Dave, I am interested in the product you use to dye the tramp. I run a youth H16 camp with 5 boats that could use a brightening of the tramp (all colors).
Did the dye process make the tramp slippery? Does the dye come off in the sun or water? Has the dye transfered to clothing when rubbed with your elbows and knees? We are in Vancouver with ocean salt water. Do you have knowledge if this might work in our conditions.
Finally, what product do you recommend for the dye process? Does this have to be done by a pro with shop facilities?
