Tulip Tie-Dye Color Resist, Fabric Dye Blocker Technique for Designs and Patterns Dye, 2 fl oz

Product was fine but very hard to work with. Only really works if you're dying it flat. Trying to tie or scrunch to dye won't work. Also put something between layers or you'll have the same image on the backside of the item.If you put something to block the transfer and only want to die completely flat and use it to write lettering it could work. Oh and it's ridiculously hard to squeeze. I ended up pouring it out and using a paintbrush. It's too hard to get a nice defined line which was what I thought the purpose of the item. Doubt I'd purchase again. Was fun to try but didn't work for any of my applications.

Did 4 tshirts. 3 with a simple 1 inch letter for each grandchild. One letter came out as it should. One was parcial. One didnt work at all. On the same day, not realizing that it doesnt work well,we did 3 handprints on a shirt for fathers day. They did not come out either. The handprint are barely noticeable because of the dye.

I used it twice on several of my projects. I may need to change my approach but I did not like the way it left a very sticky substance on my projects even after wearing. Again, it could be me and I will have to use it again but initially, I am not happy with it. Thank you.

This is my favorite resist for use with stenciled designs and low-immersion fiber-reactive dyes. I get the best result by soaking the fabric in soda ash and permitting to dry prior to applying the resist. Then permitting the resist to dry completely before applying the fiber-reactive dye directly to the dry fabric using squeeze bottles. After allowing the dye to permeate the fabric for 15 minutes, I add more soda ash solution and let the garment sit immersed for at least one hour (longer for deeper color). When the dyed fabric is rinsed, the resist rinses out completely as well.

I found that if you put it on too heavy then it leaves behind a crusty layer, but it was my first time so that was a learning curve. It did soften and wash out after multiple uses and what was really interesting is that where I had it on too thick the color still dyed the material, but it actually seemed to be darker than the surrounding area, so you ended up with the design just not in white. And then on a different project where it wasn't so think it came out perfectly with the white still showing through. Just takes a little practice, but we will use again.

My results with this product were not at all what I was expecting or what was advertised, but the end result looks really cool. I would use it again. This is with Tulip 1step dyes, wrapped in plastic for 12 hours before rinsing and washing.

Didn’t work very well. Color bled through.

Did not work - don’t waste your money.

Worked like a charm to save screen printing on a t-shirt before tye dye.
