I kinda added this to the thread below about Dyeing, but after I did it I felt really bad about hijacking someone else's thread so I apologize to whoevers thread that is below.  So I created a separate thread -  I have a couple of questions about Dyeing:

1.  Is it better to Dye one complete side of a calf and then brush it in for the entire side or is it better to do a section of one side (i.e. fog the hindquarter area) and then brush it in, move to center of calf, fog it on then brush it in, move to the front, etc.  What is also the best brush to use?

2.  What is the best way to do the neck and head area(s)?  What is the best way to deal with the "wrinkles" of the neck area to make is look correct?

Thank you in advance for your help.

For feeders,  do one side and rub/brush it in well using gloves.  You have to rub it into any folds/wrinkles.  Do other side, don't forget the tail and belly, then wait the prescribed period before rinsing (varies based on temp. / humidity).  With a product like Sullivan black Velvet it is really that simple.

After rinsing, blow dry and use a generous amount of Revive all over.  Don't worry too much about the head, as shaved it will have a darker look anyway (at least it always has for me).
