How do you dye armor and chainmail?

The Dye i was refering to was for fabrics,
As with Eddie and Oliver ,here...

How Black armour was created ,pass.
Probably a heat treatment of some sort.

Wearing Armour in court could have been considered against the dress code.

[Darksheare]

Armor was painted.
Usually a lacquer for “dress” armor, not worn in court but for other functions, the lacquer lasted awhile.
The usual method of painting was a wash, much like a lime wash, that didn’t last.

Linen was also a cloth type in use at the time.

[Darksheare]

Armor, for the most part though, wasn’t painted.
That was rare, and more time consuming than gilding or engraving.
Gilding armor took skill, and went hand in hand with engraving.

Decorating probably cost as much as the plating underneath it.
Best to just give it a good buff up then lacquer it to stop the rust.
Didn't do much good anyway, the Bodkin point (Arrow head) created the lovely square holes visible in museum exhibits to day. That had to hurt.

[Darksheare]

Stung just a little.
If they didn’t lacquer or otherwise decorate the armor, there was a jerkin, I forget the actual term for it, that went overtop the armor.
This was usually decorated with colors indicating who you were or who you fought for.
Or it just marked you as the guy everyone should hate on today.

I've often wondered why they was no TV series about Vietnamese immigrants.

Say one about a family that moved to a fictional county in Georgia and attempted to settle in and fit. The kids would carry on typical teenaged hijinks cruising with their orange rice-rocket “General Ree”.

I, of course, refer to that epic and critically acclaimed series “The Gooks of Hazzard”...

But "cut and paste" doesn't always work too well. That's how you get strange characters (not specifically referring to myself here).

Oh yeah.

Fixing tagline...

I've often wondered why they was no TV series about Vietnamese immigrants.

Every once in a while, a TV series named "Vanishing Son" included Vietnamese immigrants in the story.

Odd that they are so invisible on TV. The story is a very rich microcosm of all that made America great, and *oh* nevermind...

When one quarrels...

Oh groan, that left me all of a Quiver. XD

"A quarrel or bolt is the term for the ammunition used in a crossbow."

I was gone 40 minutes and I come back to find I’ve been transported to Camelot...(not the one in MA)...

The blood draw was not a fun experience today. Seems my vein didn’t want to close up. Odd, the needle hardly hurt when it when it but coming out felt like my elbow was being sucked inside the vial...

*shudder*

I’m glad I don’t do that very often. I had to go soak my WHITE sweater.

The Earl of Warwick got it, right in the groin. OhhhAhhhouuch!
