Well, I went to Walmart today (yes, on Labor Day) and bought a bag of batting and some Rit Dye (dark green). I put it all in a bucket...and now I have BLUE batting. ???? The bottle plainly says "Dark Green," but I swear that it is BLUE! I got a little on my fingers, and it's definitely blue.
Ya know, at first I wasn't sure what color it would turn out to be. I thought, "Well, it really looks black...but I'm sure it'll turn out green in the end." I was right, except for the "green" part!
I'll give it another shot some other day!
On an unrelated note, I bought some of those long matches to light the grill with. They'll make excellent building timbers...
