I have had the best luck soaking the fiber first with acid in the water, then letting it drain so it isn't sitting in water because that's where the dyes mix and things get mucky. I use syringes to apply the dye, and really stick them down into the fiber to get to the bottom. I often then flip the roving and add a little more on the other side. I have seen people do all the application on plastic wrap to help keep the dyes in place and then either steam or microwave the fiber. I usually bake my fiber, covered, in a very low oven, then let it cool overnight.
