Crusty pants questions?

Hi,

I was wondering two things about crusty pants.

1) How do I blackout the floss? I've tried using ink and it just turns this ugly grey color and rubs off. I've wondering about spray paint, but I'm afraid of that chipping off everywhere. Who has had experience with sewing crusty pants with normal black thread? How well does it hold? Does it just fall apart?

Also...

2) How do I prevent the pants from tightening up?

Thanks :)

Dental floss. There's no real way to black it out, you just need to hop alot of coal and sit in the dirt. Don't wash em and they'll black out. Regular thread will fall apart. And yeah, spray paint would chip off eventually. Too much friction.

About 2, I have no idea.

Um... patches are what are holding my pants TOGETHER because of wearing them and not washing them... and they're getting tight because of fixing them.. they started as normal black pants.

i've tried sewing them while wearing them, and as soon as i try to put them back on they still seem too tight. also, how am i suppose to fix the crotch while wearing them? should i just give up and get a pair of thermals to wear underneath so my dick and ass isn't falling out constantly?

its a pain in the butt to sew with and it tends to get all over. the sinew is like 10 times stronger than floss and it comes in black
I thought the wax in dental floss has to do with a big part of it being so strong. Why unwaxed?

That's only for dental floss. Natural sinews are made from tendons and connective tissues. They're strong enough as it is. Artificial sinews are just as good. And yeah, its a big pain in the fuckin ass to sew with waxed sinew. Go to the store and see how stiff they are unwaxed, then you'll understand
