Happy First Day of Fall!

This is an odd question for a scientific collector to ask.   But a member of our church asked me to dye some gar scales for her.   I tried Rit - got a yucky shade, bleached that out and am now trying Dylon.   As a last resort I will get some acryllic paint and paint them.   Can anyone tell me how one colors gar scales?

Thanks,
Linda

P.S.   What are the dates of the next convention?
