I have a tackle backpack that is blue and I want to dye it black? Not sure what it's made of but it's pretty sturdy and I'm also concerned about the zippers they are a plastic rubber mix and am worried that heat ( with a heated method ) would affect it. I need some good advice because I love and use my pack very much!!
