Can you run something through the process more than once to make the color even more intense?

What about already colored nylon bag (magenta color, cordura probably), will it overpaint well with blue or black? Thanks and thanks for video 👍.

Question. Can I do a while backpack like this?

[@aderujinsky]

I want to dye nylon sail material in mulitply colors. Could I put the material on a hot plate to maintain the heat level while it processes instead of a bath where I can only get one color?

what's if it's half cotton half spandex?

Jacquard recommends combining iDye for natural fabrics with iDye Poly when using a blend. Hope this helps!

I have a pair of pants that got bleach on them. Do I need to iremove all the color first? Concerned the white spot will take the dye differently.

[@Blick_Art]

Bleach does have a destructive effect on fabric, so the spot may not accept dye in the same way as the rest of the garment, but there's no good way to tell in advance. If you are going to try to dye them with hot water dyes, it is advisable that you use a color remover first.

Can you use this process multiple times to get a more intense effect?

[@Blick_Art]

The manufacturer recommends doubling the amount of dye in a single application for a darker effect, rather than overdyeing in separate applications. Hope this helps!

What about embroidery? I figure if it needs to be boiled the embroidery will become a little wavy?

[@Blick_Art]

We can't say for every embroidered fabric, but we reviewed several demo videos where this product was used and the embroidery seemed to come through fine (though dyed, of course). We wouldn't try it with a valuable or antique object, but that probably goes without saying. 🙂

Can i dye 100% Polyester with that?

[@Blick_Art]

No, this is just for natural fibers. The manufacturer recommends iDye Poly for polyester fabrics
