Being that they don't offer it, does anyone have any idea what I could add to get a black dye?  And yes, before you ask, I've tried all the other dyes available.  JJ's seems to be the only true stain.......rather than a surface coating.   I guess a sharpie is an option but it seems like such a pain.  Thanks

drop some black food dye or something into the clear one, see how well that works

You might try-RIT DYE. Check walmat or joann fabric.

Now you got me thinking .....

They make black food dye?

I hope so, or I'm not sure what this is.

If you mix all the different colors of food dye together, THAT might do the trick (or at least close).

I know it's not as good as JJ's....but since JJ's doesn't come in black...

I do have some Spike-it in black...

I've tried Spike-it and it just doesn't penetrate...it just coats. Don't even try to dip a tube in it.

As i am sure most are aware that double dipping JJ's Magic creates alternative colors .... no recipe for black.

• Orange = Chartreuse + Menthylate
• Green = Chartreuse + Blue
• Purple = Blue + Menthylate
• Brown = Blue + Red

I've never tried to squeeze a squid.  Hmmmm....sounds like a good children's book.
