Hi Mike,

If I click on your pictures then I get also a lot of reclames. Perhaps you can try www.tinypics.com If you copy the link with the [img].................[/img] on both sites I don't see any reclame any more.

Thank you for all the information you put on this forum, I look forward to the polyline.

Mike.

Nice discussion on dubbing but I differ on the only sensible method unless a divorce is the object. :D

I did a lot of loose dubbing dying since that is the only way my wife's lop eared rabbit would shed it for my tying and I use Rit since it is easy to find down at a local store instead of better dyes that can only be found hundreds of miles from where I live. Here is a simple drying rack from my shop. I like plain old rabbit as as a binder with mixes of synthetic yarns.

Either dyed or wet mixed(color blends) in a blender poured on the screen squares make a nice dubbing felt that I put in press lock sandwich bags for storage. A permanent marker added the formula used for that batch on each bag. It dried nicely overnight on top of my heating boiler in the Winter.
