Bring water to boil and add dye. Then set water to medium till it stops boiling. Add cover, then salt, then pepper. Stir in a circular motion ever so slowly and add onions, green peppers, and garlic till you have a nice aroma. Make sure you do this in the 15 min alotted time or your cover might warp ruining dinner. After 15 min, dinner is ready and add BBQ sauce as desired..........BBQ TP baby backs!!

Just medium next time and when you see bubbles then turn it to low heat.

Someone put a 3 step with medium, boiling and cold water method and I loled

Thats what i follawed. lol. But I just thought that heating it more would really make the dye bond to the plastic. lol. Big mistake.

Hmmm, or should I say Mmmmm, we might have stumbled upone something here, color and flavored TP covers. The people might think your wierd when you licking your phone at the airport, but it could come in handy if you need a quick snack. Kinda like those old scratch and sniff stickers, but scratch and lick phone covers.

Let see your iPhone do THAT!

Only if we could come up with an app that when you shake it, it changes flavors too! Wholy crappola! I don't know though. I think my wife would beat me to a pulp if i stared at a good looking chick licking her TP like a lollipop. I know I would have some uncontrollable drooling going on.....

Dyed one with half a pack of royal blue, turned out a nice purple/blue color, depending on what angle the light hits. The other one was dyed with black, but turned Plum. I put some letters stenciled with painters tape before i dyed this, then took the tape off and dyed it in Sunshine Orange for about 5 minutes. The result: Brown w/ gold undertones, along with gold letters.

I would like to put a decal on mine but I am unsure of what I should use. Is there a special kind of sticker/decal material to use or can I just use any normal sticker and just carve my decal into it? I am just worried that heating it will cause the adhesive to weaken.

I just used painters tape, but make sure that you keep the heat low, I just kept it on "Low" not even at the "1" mark...Hope this helps!

Darn I wish I checked there. I looked EVERYWHERE in Walmart. Didnt think of the detergent isle -.-
