5.0 out of 5 stars Makes a HUGE difference, September 30, 2011

This review is from: Jacquard Soda Ash Dye Fixer 1 lb.

Tie Dye is one of the first techniques that I teach annually in a Fiber and Textile class. Absolutely, no doubt about it, the Soda Ash dye fixer makes a huge difference in the final result.

Using it yields deep, vivid colors that stay gorgeous after many washes. Without Soda Ash, the colors look great at first but almost immediately fade away to almost nothing.

If you are going to go through the effort of proper tye dying, you need to use this or you are wasting your time and money.

Mix 1 cup Soda Ash per gallon of warm water, soak (pre-washed) fabic for about an hour, then wring/squeeze water solution out of fabric by hand... it's ready to tie dye.

Use it.

This is KEY in dying any fabrics. However, you can purchase it in bulk at any pool supply store, and no shipping, yay!

...but it is overpriced here. Try to procure locally if possible. I found it locally for half the price I paid on Amazon...and I am usually pleased with Amazon prices. I did not do enough pre-purchase research on this one.
