I've never checked the temperature except to do a quick dip check with rubber gloves on. By the end of the afternoon on a sunny day, the vats are fairly warm. On a coolish rainy day, they aren't :) One day that started warm and sunny but cooled off later in the day, the vat actually steamed when opened.Ninahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07049476969325691637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7020052182194661163.post-80579112780908070872008-07-14T11:10:00.000-04:002008-07-14T11:10:00.000-04:00Really nice colors.I have been waiting for warmer ...Really nice colors.<BR/><BR/>I have been waiting for warmer weather to try indigo in a sig- vat (urine already collected:-)), I was wondering, how warm do you keep your vats?Leenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14266878515009058403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7020052182194661163.post-70066578224174577122008-07-10T17:17:00.000-04:002008-07-10T17:17:00.000-04:00I used a couple of roots which were the size of pa...I used a couple of roots which were the size of parsnips and another 6 or 8 which were much smaller, maybe at most twice the size of those baby carrots. It wasn't really alot though. I found the dock at the edge of a farmer's field, though our roadsides are full of it this year. It's almost finished going to seed here and then I find it more difficult to find.Ninahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07049476969325691637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7020052182194661163.post-58194714139163452092008-07-10T09:56:00.000-04:002008-07-10T09:56:00.000-04:00Great colours!
