Thanks, they're not too bad now

Just funny red knuckles, callouses and a cut nicely defined in red

Nails are the worst now.  May have to go all female for a few days and put nail varnish on

Bung some E45 cream into a pair of latex gloves and wear them for a few hours (might have to use micropore tape to stop it squelching out the top) and your hands will be loads better.

Is dry now anyway!

(ignore state of conservatory, is more of a camping shop atm)

Yay! (Good idea to suspend it from the light). Colour all looks nice and even. It all came off the groundsheet okay? Are you happy with it?

Your conservatory looks like my dining room, by the way! Must get round to sorting stuff out and clearing it away...

Good fun, this thread, so thanks for sharing your experience. It must have been a bit tricky getting the camera out to record it all, with the red dye sloshing everywhere (you got a matching red camera as well, now?)!

Yep, never absorbed into the groundsheet at all.  Happy with it now!

There is a small tide line on the white nylon net where the dye pooled where it was drying, but I'll never see it so won't bother me (will probably wash out next time, as the nylon doesn't absorb the dye)  If I'm inside it won't show, and I leave the curtains open in the day

That's turned out really well. I might even give mine a go (I was having second thoughts after seeing the blood bath in your garden). Hope your hands recover from the ordeal, I think you deserve a manicure after all this.
