iDYE Poly textile color for syntheticl fabrics, 14 g, Black

iDye Poly
iDye Poly is virtually the only dye that will color polyester. In fact, it will color almost anything synthetic, including plastics and nylons, buttons, frisbee discs, Worbla & Thibra, 3D printed objects, toys, dolls, wigs, cleats, urethane coatings and more. The dye comes in a dissolvable packet, so there are never any messy powders to handle: simply drop the packet in a pot of water, add the fabric or objects and bring to a simmer.

An essential tool for cosplay artists!

Not all synthetic fibers are created equal. Results will vary depending on type of fabric.
Polyester is hard to dye and requires very high water temperature to achieve good color; therefore, we recommend dyeing polyester only with the stovetop method. NOTE: Instructions below are for achieving the most vibrant color. For lighter shades, use less dye. Add dye to the dye bath in the appropriate amount to achieve desired shade. Keep in mind that color will deepen the longer the fabric is in the dye bath.

Stove top method for 100% polyester and nylon:
1. Fill a stainless steel or enamel pot with just enough water for the fabric to move freely. Turn heat on high.
2. Add the iDye Poly dye and iDye Color Intensifier (14 ml/ 2 lbs fabric) to water and bring to a simmer. Stir until dissolved.
3. Add pre-wetted fabric and bring to a rolling boil. Maintain temperature and stir frequently for ½ to 1 hour. For uniform color, use constant agitation.
4. Gradually cool the fabric. Wash with a mild detergent in cool water and dry.
