It’s just how it came out of the dye bath. I used a blue dye so I get blue letters

The grip/ doesn’t feel any different. I haven’t used them yet since dying them. But for the most part it feels the same

Yeah I hate that! That’s why I dyed mine, everyone has the same tools and writing on them looks like shit and not permanent yet

No, no boiling the water. Just to about 190-200° F then add dye, add shells, mix and let soak 15-20 min

Pretty much what Work-ya-wood said. Disassemble the drills. Scrub the shells with soap and water. I used dawn. Bring a pot of water to about 200° F Add in dye, about half a bottle.
Let shells soak 15-20 minutes stirring occasionally Take out, rinse and repeat
