You can dye polyester?
I want to dye a dress that is green and the fabric is polyester. Is it possible?.
It is possible to dye polyester dress only if you buy the type of dye. You can not dye polyester with all common dye, such as Procion dye or Rit dye. Only lava. Not be able to buy dye for polyester at the supermarket. Not even you might be able to find in a good craft store. You can buy dye polyester mail-order, however. Buy "Disperse Dye" from PRO Chemical & Dye in Massachusetts Aljo Builder or New York or buy "iDye Jacquard Poly" Dharma Trading Company in California. For sources in other countries, see the page " Sources Dyeing of supplies throughout the world, "which includes links and contact information for all these companies. You can not use ink polyester in hot water. The water must be boiling, and boil the clothes in the dye for half an hour or more. If clothing can not survive in hot water, do not try to dye it. The pot used to boil the dye clothing must be large enough to allow the garment to move freely in the water, and should not plan to reuse the pot for cooking anymore. Another important point is that all dye is transparent, so the original color always show through. If your dress is white, can be stained green with green dye. If it's yellow, green can be stained with blue dye. If it's blue, can be stained green with yellow dye. If any other color like red or orange or black, you will not be able to dye green polyester dress.
