Seeker no I didn't. I used a dk brown oil dye first, after awhile it tends to lighten up too much so I use a dk brown stain to go over it, if it still lightens up I mix a bit of black oil dye with the dk brown and redye.
thundrkiss, its not really attached. its just tied to hold around. I actually just ordered a new one since I can't bleach this one. was going to redye it. gotcha on the list.
