Jacquard iDye Poly .49 Oz - Silver Grey

Why did you pick this product vs others?:The color was closest to what I wanted. This dye worked so well!!! My nylon pants came out the perfect color. It was EASY, too. I have little time to be picky, so I just mixed the dye on an old bowl with the hot water. Soaked the pants for about an hour, and rinsed with cold water. There is No residue coming off the pants. Good-bye Rit!

Wear gloves make sure you boil this & stir. worked great for my light weight pjs that were a yellow beige & I dyed them BLACK!!!!! It worked well. I tried rit dye but their darkest color is charcoal & it turned out splotchy even tho I heated it all night. . I redid it using the same water/dye mix & added three packs of this product. It dyed two sets of ugly light color poly pjs & I will try to brighten up another pair of faded black lightweight poly pjs. Saves $$$$ & it’s kind of fun. Washed in cool water & they look BLACK. yay! 3 sets of pjs that I will actually wear now.

if i could give this product 0 stars i would.this was not my first time using a dye like this, but it was my first time with this brand and i will never use it again.i followed the simple directions perfectly and my supposed to be pink fabric came out purple and very splotchy. my fabric was white to begin with and i only left it soaking for 45 minutes.that really isn’t my biggest concern though. the SMELL was absolutely the worst part. the other reviews on are are not exaggerating at all. i am usually not bad when it comes to strong odors, but i think i may have had an extreme sensitivity to this one. although i was in a well ventilated room with windows open and fans on, almost instantly after the steam started i got a terrible migraine and felt extremely light headed. i tried getting fresh air outside and drinking water and taking medicine to try and calm it down but it would not go away. i needed my boyfriend to finish the soaking process and clean up for me because i could not be in the room any longer. i’m not trying to sound dramatic but it really was horrible. i even ended up vomiting several time. it is about three hours later now and i am still feeling very dizzy and nauseous while writing this.i’m sure this isn’t common for most buyers because not a whole lot of reviews say it was this bad for them, but just be extra extra careful when using this product, and i defiantly would not purchase it if you have even the slightest sensitivity to this type of stuff. i will NOT be purchasing this again.

I've used this type of dye before (though the natural fiber version) and had great success using it in my washing machine, and hoped to have a similar experience with dying some polyester items. I had a bit of unanticipated user error and a lot of the dye had settled at the bottom of the pot I was using, and despite stirring regularly, the items I dyed have splotches and from uneven dye distribution, I'm guessing from what had settled to the bottom of the pan. I had a similar issue with the cotton version and realized for subsequent dye batches that I needed to thoroughly dissolve the dye packet in another container (I used a glass jar and shook the dye in a small amount of hot water until I couldn't see strands of undissolved plastic) and had better success. I didn't think to do that with this packet but I will in the future when I re-dye these sweaters to try to fix the splotches.Great color and very easy to use, just watch out that the dye is evenly dispersed/diluted before adding your items to it, since it's difficult to see what's going on until it's too late!Also I was pleasantly surprised that the grey buttons on my sweater collected dye as well and are now almost black - they look great but I hadn't anticipated that the color would change too.

I used iDye poly black and navy blue to restore a nylon tulle evening dress for a customer. The outcome was EXCELLENT - the dress looked brand new when I was finished with it and my customer was thrilled.Be aware - this is a messy and stinky process! You will need to work in a well ventilated area with a heat source powerful enough to keep your dye vat at temperature for about an hour. Make sure you can open your windows and get a couple of fans to move the fumes out of your house. (I would not use this when my asthmatic kid was at home or if I had chemically sensitive pets.)Your vat must be large enough for all of the fabric to move around in it freely and you will never be able to use it for food again. (I used a large enamel water bath canner.) You must stir CONSTANTLY while the item is in the vat. If you dribble the hot dye on your counter or floor it WILL stain PERMANENTLY.None of the above is meant to be a criticism of the product - it works extremely well and is SO much safer & more accessible than other methods of dyeing synthetic fabrics. Just don't expect this to be a quick & easy DIY project.
