Does this dye work on polyester?

There are a number of interesting you tube videos that are very helpful. However, the color and the type of fabric that you are dying is critical. The closer that the fabric that you are dying is too 100 % natural fibers, like cotton or linen, the better the dye will take. The closer the color is the white the better it will take. I doubt that you can dye polyester. I think that the faded levis that I dyed are a good example. After dying, the blue part of the levi looked blue, but the white parts (these were very faded) on the seams etc. were almost as dark as the blue parts. The inside part of the pockets (white, but not cotton) came out a faded light blue and the orange stitching looked very orange. I hadn't even realized that the levis had orange stitching.

Yes. You need to use 100% cotton or other natural fabric for best results. If you want to dye poly, it takes a special product for synthetics. If you dye with blends, the poly part will not dye. The cotton part will. It might be an interesting effect. Try a small piece and see what you get. Plus, things loose a lot of brightness as the colors set and dry. And you may lose more color when you first wash the garment. And that kit will not dye 15 shirts. More like 5.

It is possible that it will remove existing dyes and not just the new dye. There is not really a way to know for sure until you use it. I used it on a white striped shirt, and it changed the color of the striping (which was thankfully thin anyway, so it didn't make a big difference), but it did not remove all the dyes from the shirt either. I would recommend only using this product on something which is beyond help through any other method anyway, so that you have nothing to lose. I had a giant yellow stain that was completely removed and would have rendered the shirt useless otherwise, so I was willing to take the risk.

It is possible, but I would question the dyes first, reading the labels as there might be some prep work, washing or soaking bags previous to dyeing to remove any manufacturer cloth treatments. They are supposed to be all cotton and most dyes work best with cotton. Have fun!

Yes, it should work for you. I have used it on the fabric upholstery in my car to remove grease and ink stains. After you clean your upholstery thoroughly, might I suggest that you "seal" it with Scotch Guard. That will help prevent future stains. Good Luck!

I don't see why it wouldn't. I used this on my sofa and it's synthetic fabric....nylon based. I have also used it on cotton based fabric on my pillows as well. I have two dogs and it has worked well resisting stains. .

I don't see why not. However, you better contact someone who prints shirts to see if you can print on polyester.

Yes, it does. I had to apply twice on a fabric chair cushion but it worked. I don't know if it will work on a stain that has been there for a while, but I would spray the stain real good, saturate it and let it sit awhile. Hope that helps.

It sure will! It works best on fabrics. You'll be amazed. I have to use mine for a long-haired cat. Yuck!

Yes, it will work on light colored (pastels) and a cottonpoly blend t-shirts, onesies, etc.

Hi, yes. Polyester is very good. Vinyl ester (our item 71590) is even better

Perhaps if diluted. I personally use this for very tough stains (clothing) and it works, even if the stain has set in.

I used it on a synthetic fabric shoe and it worked well. It didn't stain either.

The problem I see is that the heat necessary to melt the adhesive will burn the silk. It happened to me when I tried to use it on polyester. Cotton was just fine.

Yep, no problem. I've used it on plastic as well as other materials. It is such a thin layer with rich metallic color that it works on almost any surface.

I can't say specifically for red dye in cat food, but the product works on every stain I have tried it on, way more than just pet stains. I does work on dog blood and food stains. Soak the stain pretty good and scrub with a small brush and then vacuum it up.

I only have these in colors. I've never tie dyed but I've heard that cotton is the best fabric for this. These cases feel very soft after laundering so I assume they have a lot of polyester in them. I looked on the cases but could not find a tag that gave the breakdown of cotton/poly. If you have experience with dying synthetic fabrics you can certainly try it on these.
