Dying a Gearhead Works Tailhook (mod2)

[2A2Dend]

Last fall I bought a GHW TH Mod 2 in FDE (used), for a great price. I wanted black.
I figured the dying process was the same as pmags, so I picked up some RIT Black.
The brace was disassembled, out in the pan and covered with water. Next the whole bottle if dye.
Brought to boiling, stirring now and then for 20 minutes, then rinsed under cold water.
The color took, and the brace turned out real good.

I thought I'd share that bit of info.
