it looks pretty good, but i think you should do the scoop again with the blue. Navy is hard to get right, and it usually requires you to do it twice per head to get the shade right.

What is the strongest type of dye? I heard that RIT fades after a while. I want a dye that is really strong.

It's weird how the best dyes end up on a torque.

Make sure you dye the navy twice or use Denim Blue Rit Dye intsead of navy.

Well I would try using Denim Blue next time. For that torque I only used one pack(of denim) and died it once. As for how much, I usually by 2 packs to be sure, then I just check the head and add more dye when needed.

You dye a lacrosse ball the same way you dye a head.

I would strongly advise against that. When you throw/catch with it, it'll rub dye onto your sidewalls. I know from experience.

Not very proffesional looking (lacrosse unlimited) but no major screw-ups looks like more of an entry level level dye job so prob... a 5 1/2

If you can find a Indusrial Dye, that is the strongest dye but you have to buy it in a large ammount. If you want it to dye well keep water at a high temp temperature and then lightly and i mean lightly bake it (will bake the colours right in) and leave it out for a few days in the sun and the reapeat the process once more time bakeing may not be neccesary again, but it works well for dark colours such as black, maroo, or navy/midnight blue.
Also if you want a navy blue mix a bit of Midnight blue into your Navy Dye and it will darken it, use a more than one package.
