Default Air agitation of dyes?

Hello, just wondering if anyone air agitates there dyes. I never have done this, however this past weekend I did some sample pieces and with new caswells gray dye had little dark spots on my part, also did some pink parts and turned out awesome. Just wondering if the dye needed to be agitated?

Thanks,
Shane

Default Re: Air agitation of dyes?

Agitation is certainly an option... been considering it myself.
I suggest AT LEAST giving the dye a stir before dunking the parts. Also, the dye will thoroughly mix in after it is brought to temperature.
Be careful not to let the parts rest against the walls of the tank or touch each other or there may be dark areas.
