erdnarob 1 #3 August 13, 2013 Be very careful about dying cordura or anything else specially if this is parachute rig materials. Dying can involve acidic chemicals which can weaken flaps, webbing, straps...etc. A jumper at my DZ had a rig with a lot of white componants. No wonder it became stained after few hundred landings in the grass. He decided to dye it in black color by immersing completely the rig. I did an acid testing with bromocresol blue acid indicator. The rig material tested acidic which is certainly not good news for the harness strength.Learn from others mistakes, you will never live long enough to make them all.
