Here's my process: I use Rit Denim Blue (liquid form). I fill up my bean pot 3/4 full with water. Bring the water to a boil. Move the pot to the sink. Add in the dye and mix gently. Use tongs to put 7' sections of cut hose in the dye bath. Take it out after about 30 seconds to check color and return it to the dye bath if I'm not happy with it. I keep up this process checking it every 15 second or so until I get the tint of blue I want. When I get the right tint, I rinse it immediately in water in the other side of the sink.

I've tested the Royal Blue, Navy Blue, and Denim Blue colors. I felt the Royal Blue was too bright and the Navy Blue was too purple for my tastes. I'll see if I can find some pics of how the Denim Blue turned out for me.

Here are two different applications on the Home Depot hose. The second was left in the dye bath a tad longer.

[QUOTE="Cruzer, post: 139868, member: 496"] Here's my process: I use Rit Denim Blue (liquid form). I fill up my bean pot 3/4 full with water. Bring the water to a boil. Move the pot to the sink. Add in the dye and mix gently. Use tongs to put 7' sections of cut hose in the dye bath. Take it out after about 30 seconds to check color and return it to the dye bath if I'm not happy with it. I keep up this process checking it every 15 second or so until I get the tint of blue I want. When I get the right tint, I rinse it immediately in water in the other side of the sink. I've tested the Royal Blue, Navy Blue, and Denim Blue colors. I felt the Royal Blue was too bright and the Navy Blue was too purple for my tastes. I'll see if I can find some pics of how the Denim Blue turned out for me.:) Here are two different applications on the Home Depot hose. The second was left in the dye bath a tad longer.
