I am trying to color a bleach spot on nylon carpet with a crayon. I have got the color matched but it don't want to stay put even after using the heat gun on it. Is there a step before I put the crayon to it that I am missing?

are you coloring inside the lines??? LOL

I didn't know you were supposed to, thanks for the tip Coach.

What did you do to Tony, Ray?

He's ignoring you.

Embarassing, to say the least.

Don't take it personally, Ray. From what I understand, Tony is still smarting for allowing Lonnie to become the leather guru of the IICRC, so he's not gonna make the same mistake with carpet coloring.

I understand tht he's working on his two day course at the moment, and can't afford to give any information away.

I'm sorry, Rambo it was a holiday up here in honor of Queen Victoria's birthday. Try setting the color with a steam iron set for wool just set a cotton towel over the re-colored area and run the iron over it a few times.

I have found that some fibers are more difficult to make the color stay on like some Polyesters. You will also find that the more time that passes after re-coloring before you try to remove it the better.

Marty, I've no interest in being anyone's "guru" and will continue to teach/share/learn from whomever & whenever I choose to. I did a FREE crayon class at MikeyFest knowing that you were not be there

Watching Tony play with his Crayolas at Mikefest was pretty darn cool.

It was possible to reach almost perfect color match conditions on nearly all of the samples.

I was impressed.

Seek out Tony Wheelwright.  You can also find him on the ICS BB.  He is the "Crayon" guru.
