I haven't dyed much because most of the colors I use are readily available
most of my tying is for personal use the occasional swap. For grizzly I've

Jerry: Thanks. I bet my daughter has some of those dye tablet left over. And

The dyes in that kit are not the same as Kool Aid unless you're thinking
