Message: Is it possible to dye polyester fur? We have a monkey costume that is gray, but needs to be brown for a dance production in June. Our monkey looks like a squirrel instead and it's not possible to make another one. Thanks.

I've never tried it. If it is possible, you would follow the information found on the following page:

However, boiling might ruin the fur's texture completely. It would be safer to use thin fabric paint. See http://www.dharmatrading.com for several different high-quality types of fabric paint. Thick paint would clump the fur and be entirely inappropriate, but thin paint might work.

You should remove a scrap of the material to test, if possible.
