Does ANYONE have a formula for black.
I bought a black bucktail, about five years ago, from a fly shop, the hairs are too short for what I use them for. And the thing still smells. I would like to have one good tail that I know will be long enough, so I want to dye my own.
Any help is greatly appreciated

I dye a few things black, including some deer body hair. I haven't dyed a bucktail black but I am assuming that it is pretty close. See the dyeing process info that I posted in this thread. All I do for black is increase the amount of dye that I use in the mix (usually quite a bit, you can't have it too black) and allow the material to soak in the bath overnight.
