I thought about how to handle that for a long time but could not come up with a practical way to do it.
They sit submerged in a pot of hot liquid dye. LOL a couple of labels were missing already some were starting to fall apart. I have one or two that are still good and put duct tape on them, you can read the text but the dye penetrated the strap and label from behind turning them purple.
Other than that I think they turned out good :)
I had a bent latch that I straightened with my press which looks so much better.
Happy Thanks Giving!
