Directions:

   1.) Put tooth paste on your toothbrush

         2.) Brush sections of the rubber

         3.)Wipe section clean with the rag

      (Repeat 1-3 as many times as necessary)

        4.) Color in faded spots with sharpie

        5.) Rub them with the rag after cleaning all of the rubber.  This will fade the two colors together.

     Tips:

        - Avoid the canvas when brushing the rubber. The toothpaste will fade it.
