baronn 111 #1 January 12, 2010 Does anyone have any 1st hand experience dying a container? I have a used Oddysey with houndstooth fabric and it appears some fading on a corner. Fabric appears to be in good shape and the rig is a good fit for me. Would simply like a different color. Want to go solid black. Any advice/experience would be helpful. Thanx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GLIDEANGLE 1 #2 January 12, 2010 Before you attempt that, consider that the container is part of the TSO'ed system. I suspect that there are many, many riggers who would not consider the container airworthy any longer if dyed by anyone other than the manufacturer. These riggers would consider it unairworthy because they cannot be confident that the home dyeing method did not weaken or damage the material. I suspect that most would consider this an ALTERATION, which can only be done by a master rigger or the manufacturer. Your best bet is to discuss this with the manufacturer.The choices we make have consequences, for us & for others! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

baronn 111 #4 January 13, 2010 Thanx for all the responses. I agree with the fashion show statements(you should see what I jump now) but wanted to see if others knew more about this than I do(they usually do). I'm gonna pass on this idea and live with it the way it is. But, it is houndstooth, Yuk! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fixed it for you JerryBaumchen If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life Never make a pretty woman your wife So from my personal point of view Get an ugly girl to marry you A pretty woman makes her husband look small And very often causes his downfall As soon as he marries her then she starts To do the things that will break his heart But if you make an ugly woman your wife you'll be happy for the rest of your life An ugly woman cooks meals on time And she'll always give you peace of mind http://www.lyricalcontent.com/98827/lyrics/jimmysoul/ifyouwannabehappy.html I love that song.

JerryBaumchen 1,047 #9 January 15, 2010 Hi timmy, Here's another tidbit for you: ~1962 there was a survey of French college men ( BTW, the French love surveys; more than any other people in the world ). The vast majority of them said that they would prefer to marry an ugly woman. When asked why they said that then they would know that no one would try to take her away from them. I say, whatever works for you. JerryBaumchen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
