Just to add a tiny bit to this thread, my parents counter top still to this day has a couple of dime sized faint grey spots from a sloppy drop into a pot of black Rit around 1990. :mrgreen: Maybe I should give them a kitchen remodel for Xmas. :lol:

Nah, too much work. We all know how hard it is to match old dye. I ask my wife at least once a day: "Hey how come the carpet doesn't match the drapes??" :?





Meh, she loves it... :mrgreen: :lol:

Best to do it outside. I've found spots all over the kitchen left from droplets of water that have steamed off. On another note I did ruin a box of mac and cheese from using a pot I did'nt clean well enough.

You should have eaten it! Then you and your RC10 would always have that "Special bond".

I just went to the dollar store, and bought a crappy little pot. It works like a charm.
Heck, go to Good Will, or Salvation Army and find an even nicer one.

To add to the funny stories, i was dying some parts (from my sledgehammer i think) in the microwave just to try it once. it didn't work out. something "popped" and i just about shat myself when i realized at that moment that some wasn't coming out in a few spots. i did eventually get it all out except right above the "epicenter" i think nobody has noticed it. I've never heard mention of it at least. :wink:

Think the coffee can idea is best if you don't have a junk pot.
