This was so helpful. Thank you so much for sharing the process and showing the results. I really appreciated the comparison between the different black dyes!

Magenta and Green are colour opposites in a visual science way. Interesting that you picked up on the tint change that incorporates that.

Great comparison video! I definitely see a difference with the fixative. Most of us want the darkest black dye we can achieve!

Do a 3rd with just a hot water rinse for as long as you did the one with fixative...

After the use, does the fixative still work or does it starts bleeding, especially on skin and furniture

the fixative is absorbed by the fabric so once you wash it, you won't see it bleed or anything.

How do you protect an embroidered logo patch on the black polyester shirt if you don’t want to dye the logo black?

@lucykiins

14 күн бұрын

the thread of the embroidery is most likely polyester so if the shirt is polyester as well, i think the embroidery will be dyed.

have you tried double dying any clothes before to see if it would make it even more black? I'd be curious if there would be any difference, or if it would be worth doing to get a more true, fresh out the store black.

Are you sure the one with fixative isn't running clear immediately because it was just rinsed in the fixative?

@lucykiins

after the garment is put inside the fixative bucket, it does bleed. but it still holds the color better.

Do you know if fixative works on Polyester materials?

i honestly have no idea! i'm thinking no since they have it in a kit with dye that's for cotton material 🤔

The Rit website says it does, you just have to buy it separately from the dye

The salt you decided not to use (the salt in the directions) is actually something that helps set dye -- so it's kind of a shame you didn't use it for comparison. It's a lot less expensive than the bottle of fixative and it would have been interesting to see if it was enough to set the dye. 😉

Pro tip just make sure the items are able to move freely in order for the entire garment to be covered 100% otherwise you'll end up with blotchy clothes. The more Dye you use the darker the cloths will be however the more cloths you Dye the less portent the Dye will be towards the end. Just make sure the items can move freely in the Dye water otherwise you could end up with blotches.

My mistake was trying to cram all 3 of my items in the first Dye bath. I should of done two separate baths with the same Dye in the water but wanted to try and save time by squeezing the 3rd pair of shorts results being the first two pairs of shorts came out great but the 3rd I tried to stuff in came out blotchy. Now I'll have to go get more Dye and do it all over again for the blotchy pair vs just doing the first two pairs of shorts first then using the same Dye water for the third pair. Could of saved 5$ and time but all well at least now my shorts look brand new!

So helpful! I want my finished product to look faded, so i dont need to buy the fixative

@lucykiins

Ай бұрын

use less dye for a faded look as well. it won't get as dark.

I should've just went to youtube first. No website said anything on how to use the fixative other than put the item in there straight from the dye water. The black dye does come by itself.

@@lucykiins I didn't know there was two different blacks. I've only seen the Black All Purpose sold alone or in the back to black plastic wrapped kits. I just soaked the material in it, nothing I found said that the fixative has to be hot to work. I did a denim jacket and jeans, and the dye literally dripped dry out of both, like that clown in PPG when bleach turned him into a mime. Your video was the first non Rit video I found. I redyed it[jacket] last night, cold rinsing it now, and the only thing that didn't take well, was the cottony collar on the jacket, so far. It's kinda splotchy and gray. Somehow I got my kitchen sink to circulate water.
