Ray,

Gave the orange dye a try and it worked out pretty good. I only had fluroescent orange by Veniard and used that. Not an exact match, but close.

This will make using those tippets for tailing much easier.

The other methods mentioned worked to a degree, but I always got 'dull' sides showing. I know for fishing it does not matter, but I am tying for display too.

Thanks for the tip.

Bob
