Everything that I sell is handmade and may vary slightly.
All glass products are 100%
Pyrex glass and cured
for the proper time & temp
in a kiln.
This is to alleviate any stress
in the glass from creating it,
and should not crack or chip under normal use.
As far as the Tie Dyes
First start with 100% cotton
and wash it.
This is to remove any anti staining
chemicals so
the dye will properly adhere
to the material.
I suggest using Synthrapol (detergent)
available
from any place you purchase your
dyes.
I use Procion dyes from
Pro Chemical & dye.
Then the material must soak in
a fix such as " soda ash."
The longer you soak the better.
Then ring out the material so
it is only damp.
You can also tie it then spin
it in the washing
machine to remove the extra water.
Sometimes it is easier to fold
when wet.
Once you have what you want folded
& tied.
Think where you want the colors
ahead of time.
Take your time if you rush it
will show.
Cover with plastic and let sit
for at least 24 hours.
Then unfold and rinse until hardly
any dye is left.
Then wash again in hot water
with Synthrapol and
dry as usual.
Some different ways to apply
the dyes are.
Squeeze bottle, syringe, eye
dropper, or foam brush's.
Here is an idea on how to
do a spiral Tee shirt.
Happy tie dying!
