No pun intended. I have had some success, as far as I was concerned, at dying different furs with several different types of dyes. However, I do not considerable myself knowledgeable on the subject.

There has been previous discussion by some that say vinegar will cause a color to set and then others say it really isn't a dye set. I know that there is general popularity with Alum. I also read recently that Ginger is a color set due to it having sulfur dioxide added.

For you folks "in the know", if I was dying a piece of fur, say 2'x2", in a pan with approximately 1 qt of water, and one teaspoon of dye, how much Alum should be added to the mix for the set?

Please explain in laymans terms?
