Not sure if this is totally ski gabber worthy but w/e move it if you want I have marker Griffin schizos unfortunately and they are all white and I'm thinking they need some color. They come off easy cause they.are schizo so I'm thinking I could just take the toe and heal pieces and dunk em in dye. Not sure if this is a good or bad idea for the functionality of the binding What dye or process to use? Suggestions and past experiences +k

White bindings are sick as fuck, I don't know why you would want to dye them. I don't understand why so many people make it their goal to look like a fruitcake on the hill...

Two packs of RIT dye, 5 gallons of boiling hot water, soak for 30 minutes and dry off. Adjust and do shorter times for dark colors, longer for light colors.

No, if its a dark color like purple I'd go 20 minutes, if its light like yellow I'd go 40 min for good saturation.

just so you know the dye doesn't soak in very deep. after a few days of use the white underneath is gonna show through when they scratch up.

RIT dye is meant for nylons (which is what lacrosse heads are made of). IT may not work depending on what the bindings are made of.

you need to take them apart and remove the spring. it will make them release more consistently and allow the die to soak in more effectively.
