Beautiful work! You are seriously the Bob Ross of Tie Dye. Thank you for taking time out of your day to teach us all. I’m learning so much just by watching your videos. Have a great evening. ☺️

After the 48hr soak do you do wash on HOT, WARM or COLD? Getting fading on color after 1st wash 😩

[@MrTieDye]

After batching for 48 hours with heat, I rinse in the sink to start with in cold water, this rinses away the soda ash which is what activates the dyes ... then I un band and rinse in warm water till it runs semi clear, then I wash in hot water three times to wash away all of the un bonded dyes... the first cycle is a quick cycle with lots of synthrapol soap ( some dyers use Blue Dawn Dish Soap or Folex Carpet Cleaner as they too are pH neutral) ... the next two cycles are longer soak cycles to help remove the last of the un bonded dyes. SO, if you are having lots of fading after the first wash, then you have some issues other than washing that need to be adjusted ..... First, what kind of dyes do you use?? I use Procion Dyes .... if you are using a store bought kits like Tulip, then that could be part of your issue.... if this is the case, there are a couple things you can do, first is to still do a soda ash soak on your tees/hoodies ... then I would tie everything up and have them ready to dye... THEN, I would mix the dyes... with Tulip brand dyes, they are active as soon as you add water.... so if you mix them and leave them to sit for a couple hours while you tie things, then the dyes are weak when you apply them.... so tie, then mix dyes and then use right away ..... heat is another thing, the temp needs to be at least 70F for the dyes to set up properly, bt I like to add heat, I batch mine in tubs with lids so the dyes stay wet while I batch, then I set the tubs in the sun to warm up... this will help speed the dye bonding process, which will give you better colors Another thing to check is the cotton content... a lot of hoodies are a 50/50 blend of cotton/poly. and poly does not take these dyes.... so if you have a 50/5- blend hoodie, then only half of the fibers will take the dye and this will give you a faded looking hoodie... I use Hanes Ultimate Cotton Hoodies, they are 90/10 and dye up great .... I buy mine wholesale from sanmar.com, but many dyers buy from jiffyshirts.com So with all of that said, here is my Beginner's Playlist which has a few videos that could be helpful to Improve your Colors : kzbin.info/aero/PLMEtBqB2BzuquDrHsqxbv8LdFkaIyy3wo and just in case you need it, here are places to buy Procion Dyes in the US : CA : Dharma : www.dharmatrading.com/dyes/dharma-fiber-reactive-procion-dyes.html CO : Grateful Dyes : www.grateful-dyes.com/ NC : Custom Colors Inc. : www.customcoloursinc.com/ MA : Pro-Chemical and Dye : prochemicalanddye.net/ MO : Dyespin : www.dyespin.com I hope this helps

[@shellygoodwin7221]

This is very cool. How did you keep the red from running onto the white parts of the hoodie?

[@miradonfbd]

I like both of these. But I have a question. What would you use as a dye fixative for the Dharma dyes? I did buy some Rit color fixative as I’d like to do something for the black cotton knit pants I buy that lose so much color with washing. For the new ones and the ones I plan to re-dye black.

[@MrTieDye]

I use fiber reactive Procion dyes and they are activated with the soda ash, so I pre soak my tees or hoodies in soda ash and then when I add the dye, they become active and start bonding with the cotton... I leave them to batch for 24- 48 hours and this is when they dyes set up... they need to stay wet so i put them in a tub with a lid and they need to be at least 70F .... so I stack mine next to a heater vent or out in the sun here is my beginner's playlist to show how I mix the dyes, the soda ash and how I batch and then the wash out process as well as a couple videos where I talk about the basics as I tie up and dye a tee .... kzbin.info/aero/PLMEtBqB2BzuquDrHsqxbv8LdFkaIyy3wo I have not used Rit dyes, but I have seen results from many people that were not good compared to procion dyes

[@Duvet6]

I've been browsing your channel lately looking for ideas and while the hoodie did come out beautiful I was more interested in the shirt you're wearing in the video. Do you have a video of you making that shirt? I like how it kind of looks like ripples of colorful water. And while your beard is glorious, it unfortunately obscures the shirt you're wearing.

[@MrTieDye]

Thank you and yes i do have a few videos .... the design itself is a RonStar, but it was made on an already tie-dyed tee... I call that an over dye ... so here is a list for the RonStar and the last video in the list is the over dye ..... kzbin.info/aero/PLMEtBqB2Bzuorv09YjjGu4BowyuPQcrAT and thank you, I sometimes have my beard braided so it does not block the tee so much ;-)

[@rangprat]

how to keep the white area without replacing dyes? please answer

[@MrTieDye]

To avoid back staining in the washer, I batch the item for longer (I leave mine for 48 hours) so most of the dye is spent by the time I rinse and wash. Also, I use Synthrapol soap during my hot washes, it is pH neutral and it helps to hold the dye particles suspended in the water during the washing And I add plain water or thickened water to the white areas to help hold space when i am doing liquid dyeing it is not an issue when I use foam brushes like i did in this video.

[@pizy4474]

[@cstillings]

Would it still turn out well if you did the pre-wash and rinse out by hand? I live in an apartment so I don't have a washer

[@MrTieDye]

yes you can, it is more work, but it can be done.... I rinse and wash my shoes I dye in buckets and letting them sit for the excess dyes to leach out and I use Synthrapol soap to prevent back staining (some dyers use Blue Dawn Dish Soap as it to is pH neutral) here is my video on shoes, cued up to the washing of them .... kzbin.info/www/bejne/nne6ZJJnja56o7M

Love your videos! I am trying to recreate this I am not using the same dye but mine is powdered how do you make sure the white stays white? I tried it on my t-shirt and all the colors bled.. I didn't use soda ash last time but I believe I can make this by cooking baking soda is there anything else I need to do? Also what did you mean by putting it in a tub with a lid to batch? Thanks for your help!

[@MrTieDye]

Thank you, I use Fiber Reactive Procion Dyes. I buy most of mine from Dharma Trading Co. www.dharmatrading.com/dyes/dharma-fiber-reactive-procion-dyes.html I have also purchased the same kind of dyes from Custom Colours in NC and Grateful Dye in CO. As for keeping the white area white.... in this video the dyes do not spread much since I use very little dye, but on other things when I am adding more liquid, I will use water on the areas I want to keep white and this helps keep the dyes from spreading also, I batch mine for 48 hours with some heat, here is the tubs I use to batch in .... kzbin.info/www/bejne/iafLqIGHl82NgKM ... by the time I start rinsing my tees, most of the dye is spent and cannot back stain, but i still use Synthrapol Soap in the washer as it helps keep the dyes suspended in the water, (some dyer's use Blue Dawn Dish Soap as it to is a pH neutral soap) here is my rinsing/washing process .... kzbin.info/www/bejne/qmGwkKGpqbCeoK8

[@tacorth1]

Hey mr. tiedye i jad a small question hopefully can answer as soon as you can please... I did this design and bagged it for a day so far do i wash or rinse ... Im assuming not because dye can run thru the shirt .. Do u let it air dry after i take out of bag do i wash it or leave it to dry on its own for a couple of days... Thanks

[@MrTieDye]

after I dye an item, I put it in a tub with a lid to batch, the Procion dyes need to stay wet in order to bond with the cotton, and they need to sit for a minimum of 24 hours for the dyes to set up for decent colors, I prefer to leave mine for 48 hours to give the dye more time to set up ... then I rinse in the sink and wash in hot water with synthrapol soap ... here is my beginner's playlist with video to show this .... kzbin.info/aero/PLMEtBqB2BzuquDrHsqxbv8LdFkaIyy3wo

[@mariacaruso8111]

Once you make it dry for 48 hours do you wash the shirt (hi ow do u wash it) or put it in the dryer

[@MrTieDye]

I batch my tees for a minimum of 24 hours, but I prefer to leave mine for 48 hours with some heat ... this allows more time for the dye to bond with the cotton, but also, by the time you start to rinse, most of the dyes are spent and cannot back stain ...... I start rinsing in cold water with the tee still tied, this rinses away the soda ash... then I turn water up to warm and continue to rinse as I remove the ties... once the water starts to run semi clear I will drop it into the washer which already has hot water and Synthrapol soap (some dyers use Blue Dawn Dish Soap) added ..... after rinsing my white spots have a bit of color on them..... but the hot water wash will clean that up... but you gotta toss it in the washer right after you rinse it. and here is my rinsing/washing video .... kzbin.info/www/bejne/qmGwkKGpqbCeoK8

@@MrTieDye what tie dye do you use and can you show how to do white joggers pants

[@TheReeW]

Just found your channel, lovin it. Does it have to be soaked in Soda Ash?

[@MrTieDye]

Soda Ash is what activates the fiber reactive Procion dyes I use, so soda ash must be used at some point before you batch them (let the dyes set up) ... most ties I pre soak my tees, but sometimes I will just get them wet with plain water as it makes tying easier, and then soak it in soda ash an then spin out the excess ... and one last way it to tie it, dye it, and then squirt soda ash on and then batch it

[@hildasalavarria3360]

Excelente!!!

[@MrTieDye]

thank you

[@andrelang1869]

Heyyyyy, How do you keep the shirt so white? When I washed the shirt, the white parts got stained by the colorful water, like a washed out red, so now doesn't look as beautiful

[@MrTieDye]

Part of that comes from using Synthrapol soap in my washer during wash out... it is a pH neutral soap that helps keep the dye particles suspended in the water .... BUT, one other thing that I feel helps is a longer batch time with added heat (I batch my tees in tubs with lids and I will set them out in the sun or stack next to a heater vent) .... this helps more dye bond with the cotton.... BUT, it also will help 'exhaust' the dyes.... so there is less of a chance of them back staining oh and some dyers use Blue Dawn Dish soap or Folex Carpet cleaner in place of Synthrapol soap as they are all pH neutral ... I hope this helps keep your white area white during washout

How do you stop the dye from colouring the rest of the white material, especially during the rinsing process.

[@MrTieDye]

when I do this one, I use a brush to add the dye, so I am getting only a little bit of dye, it cannot spread far ... and then I batch for 48 hours with heat... this gives more of the dye time to bond, but also, by the time I start rinsing, most of the dyes are spent so there is less of a chance of back staining ..... one other thing you can do after rinsing in cold water to wash away the soda ash is to dunk it in a bucket of cold water with a cup of white vinegar, this will help to neutralize the soda ash also

@@MrTieDye Thank you

[@ARMTOAST]

I love this one! Looks great. One thing I was wondering when squeezing dry a soda ashed shirt today was, have you ever considered using a mop wringer (like custodians use) to make the process easier/more efficient? When I'm doing a bunch of garments at a time I think it'd be nice to have some mechanical advantage on my side, and I considered picking one up. Could you see any potential downside to this?

[@MrTieDye]

yes I have seen many other dyers use them to help with the wringing process.... I happen to have space outside for two dedicated soda ash washers ... so I put my tees into the washer and then I turn on spin cycle in the other machine to fill the 2nd washer up with soda ash... I soak 20 minutes and then spin it back into the 1st washer... but I do a lot of tees when i am working with a school

[@mirianortega5545]

How do you prevent the white from getting stained after rinsing it out or washing it? I tried and the white areas became light blue! :(

[@MrTieDye]

part of what helps when I leave a lot of white is to batch them for longer (48 hours) and add heat (I put my tubs with lids out in the sun all day, or stack next to heater vent in the winter time) ... this way most of the dye is spent by the time you start rinsing and washing and cannot back stain Also, I rinse in cold water to start so I can wash away the soda ash before i un-tie it, and I use Synthrapol soap in the washer, this helps keep the dye suspended in the water ... OH and they need to be rinsed and then go right into the synthrapol water (some dyers use Blue Dawn Dish soap as it to is pH neutral) , if they sit for long after being rinsed, the dye can start to set up .... my white areas always have color in them from rinsing, but it washes out, so wait until you tee is fully washed and dry before you judge the colors
