Hoseman Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Just bought a PX Chute with the tan web straps. Is there any way of getting the dye out of them to get to white? Not bleach, don't want to dissolve them!! Anyone done this or know of a proven product/way please? I have a spare harness in 'kit' form (taken apart and unstitched!!!) To practice on if need be!

Enfield1940 Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Just bought a PX Chute with the tan web straps. Is there any way of getting the dye out of them to get to white? Repeatedly boiling them in strong detergent *may* work. I did this with a repro khaki WWII Browning HP mag pouch as I wanted to re-colour it into a repro RAF 1925 Pattern Colt 1911 mag pouch. I didn't get every last bit of the khaki dye out, but the end result was successful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just thinking of some of that Oct powder, use it on my normal webbing and gets dye out well!! Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
