Jacquard iDye Poly .49 Oz - Blue

Started with a very light mint green alpha direct polartec hoodie. The clothing is great, the color was not. I read about how to dye polyester and this seemed like it might be worth a shot. Getting that much water to boil was the hardest part. It was about 50deg outside (have to do this outside, the smell is strong) on a little one burner camping stove. That wasn't going to work. So I tried a propane torch. That added enough heat, but it was kind of scary. Your clothing must stay in the boiling water for at least 1/2 hour. And then it was a little difficult to get the smell out. I rinsed and rinsed and baking soda and vinegar. Finally it it odor free. Pros - it works. your clothing will change color. Cheaper than buying new clothing. mess-free Cons - must be done outdoors. Hard to predict exactly the resulting color. boiling water takes a while I like this dye and will probably use it again if I want to change the color of a piece of gear

Worked great for polyester wedding dress! I bought two packages of the Jacquard blue dye in hopes that I could recolor my wedding dress so that I could wear it again. It worked great, and did not wash out. I have no issues with the dye itself, but for those who are wanting to use it just keep in mind that it can be messy. Get a large pot (I used a 30 qt one) to avoid splashing the dye mixture.

I bought this to dye a golden-yellow dress. I understood that the color would be somewhere on the green spectrum. It totally changed it to a really pretty neutral beige. Definitely not blue by ANY means, but I expected that. What the issue is/was is that after washing in mild detergent twice, when I tried the dress on it now has a super strong chemical smell that I can not get to go away. It also made the smell get on me and made my skin super itchy.

i’ve used clothing dies for a long time but it never comes out the way you want. this time i had a prada bikini that had purple shampoo explode all over it in my luggage. it was all stained and gross looking. i did everything it told me to do on the package and after a wash.. just wow. things you have to consider: 1) it stinks! so open up a window and turn your overhead fan on. 2) its hard to get the smell of the dye out of the clothes, so i hand washed it for a while and then threw it in the washing machine twice. i hand washed it so no dye would come out in the washing machine because this is POWERFUL stuff. 3) it did dye the red prada logo blue, so i’m unsure of what to do about that yet but maybe try taping it? i didn’t want to take it off and sew it back on, but i think it looks cool. but in the future i would probably tape my tags on clothing. overall this dye is powerful and will dye anything. i really recommend this dye instead of rit or any of those other dyes, especially for vintage clothing.

One packet is just enough for one to two small items. Lije a scarf and a top.

I am pretty impressed with this dye, don't know how colorfast it is, or fade resistant by the sun, but we will see. I am shocked by some of these reviews by people in Hysterics, it is pretty sad. Depending on how dark or saturated you want the color, the more dye you should use. I did one of two outdoor cushion covers made of "fade resistant" "Solarium" fabric. They are seriously faded. I did the first one in the dye bath, got it dark vibrant blue, as I wanted, then the second one is just tinted blue. So obviously, I need to re-dye the second one, as the first one used up most of the dye. I dyed mostly over a faded print. Parts that were faded to almost white are still visible, but not unsightly. I could dye the first one again, but I don't care that much that they are perfect. When these fade, I will use the same stuff and dye again. Most of these negative reviews are the fault of the user. Spots? You obviously did not thoroughly dissolve the dye properly or mix while developing. Or grease or other spots need to be completely washed out of the fabric. This will not magically remove the print or the color you are starting with. Bottom line, it does NOT rub off, mine did not turn a strange color, not "uneven" because I was not dealing with an even colored fabric to begin with. I would suggest that if you have never dyed anything before, don't buy this or any other dye. Comments like "it got all over my kitchen" or "dyed my rubber gloves", are just stupid, like the dye knows what to dye and what not to dye. It is a dye and will dye plastics and many other things, so bear in mind that it is DYE.

Just an FYI if your item is a mixed blend, say 60 cotton, 20 polyester, 10 nylon, this will NOT DO ANYTHING to the cotton. So your item will look pretty much the same except you spent time and money for the experience. On the package it says you can then dye it with their natural fabric dye for the cotton. Seems like a lot of work. So my BF ran off to buy a bottle of Rit and I re-dyed and it was easy. The dye packet just dissolves in water, DON'T OPEN IT. I saw some reviews where people tried to shake it out and made a mess. This stuff even dyes enamel!! Be careful. I now have a white enamel tub thats blue. It stains stuff. Its strong. It smells a little, some people complained about the smell, it says use in a well ventilated area. It stinks since its doing some major magic to dye synthetics. Read the directions! I put them in a photo. The real info is inside the paper package. A little too late for me, but maybe will help someone else.

Redyed my pontoon boat's Bimini top.... Looks new
