Hi Everyone,
I was asked that if I ordered the Keda dye kit to let the forum know how the results went. I have attached 3 pictures of the test boards. I mixed these colors at 8 oz with hot water for a starting point with 5 grams of the 5 colors from the kit. The brown was a little dark for me yet so I mixed in 4 more oz of hot water, along with the Blue and the Black. The Red and Yellow I only added 2 more oz for a total of 10 oz to 5 grams of powder from the kit, since these colors tend to lighten over time.
I have to say the kit in total was only $10.49 even after the shipping. I didn't expect a whole lot of anything at that price, but I did received 5 colors (Blue, Red, Yellow, Black, and Brown) which for me made a total of 56 oz of dye concentrate in 5 colors, and is going to help me a lot.
This kit worked as well as any other dye that I have used before, and in some ways even better since I got 5 colors to play with right away. This would be a great starter kit for those who do not have a huge supply of dye already, like myself.
The two sets of boards are maple and oak. The Purple and Dark Red (lower 2 boards) in center pic is Rotary Cut Maple. Check out my other post for a more detailed description of what I did how the results went if interested at http://www.scrollsawer.com/forum/woo...ghlight=kamara
Thanks Again everyone, and I hope this helps someone else also.
Kindest Regards,
Kam
