Next time, try pulling it out a few minutes earlier - it'll make it less dark. But I think you're close on the general color, other than how dark it is. On the other hand, it'll fade a little bit with use, so maybe leave it that dark? Either way, it looks good man. |

Thanks, and thanks for all the info. That was 6 gal water, one bottle of tan, one of camel, 2 tablespoons of purple, and 2 cups of vinegar. Left it in right about 40 minutes. Once all this rain stops the grass will die, and the mesquite will all lose it's leaves, then it will be much more brown here. I got a roll of double sided velcro to make new strap keepers coming too. The old elastic ones are pretty much shot. |
