Materials
You can use Rit Dyemore for almost all Synthetic fabrics such as polyester and nylon.
This paint is also excellent for coloring 3D printed objects and even buttons, toys, dolls, wigs and more.
The paint is suitable for 3D printed objects of the material: Strong & Flexible Plastic or Versatile Plastic from Shapeways (Nylon Plastic / PA12 / Polyamide) and HP Nylon.
Quantity to dye
1 bottle of Dyemore is suitable for about 900 grams of dry fabric.
For dyeing 100% polyester you need double the amount of dye.
For a lighter color use less paint and vice versa.
Color formulas
Rit's website features color formulas for creating your perfect color.
Dye method
DyeMore is a liquid dye that can be used by the stove-top method (dyeing in hot water in a pan).
Synthetic fabric is difficult to dye and requires a constant boiling temperature to absorb dye; therefore, you can only dye by the stove-top method.
This dye cannot be used in the washing machine!
Brief explanation stove-top method
- Fill a stainless steel pan with just enough water for the fabric to move freely
- Bring the water to the boiling point (about 93 degrees) and keep the temperature constant
- Add the Rit dyemore and stir until well mixed with the water.
- Add pre-moistened fabric and stir frequently (Keep fabric in dye bath until desired color is achieved)
- Wash the fabric after in your sink under the tap with mild detergent and let it dry.
Note that the result depends on the amount of paint, dye time, type of fabric, current fabric color, dye bath temperature, etc., among others.
Disclaimer
Please note: 3DForma.nl is not responsible for a different color result.
Always test first! After all, dyeing is always an experiment and can unfortunately turn out differently than you would like.
Color
Dye blends with the existing color(s) of the fabric.
If the garment you are dyeing is white or off-white, you should be able to achieve a corresponding color.
If your garment already has a color, your only option is to over-dye it with a darker color, and because the dye will blend with the existing color, a different result must be kept in mind.
Patterns and logos
If the garment you dye has a pattern or logo, the color you use will blend with the existing color(s) in the fabric and create new colors.
Patterns and logos will remain visible even if you dye the fabric in a very dark color.
Coating
The fabric you want to dye may have a coating. You should think about waterproof, stain-resistant, wash-and-wear resistant, permanent press- and wrinkle-resistant finishes.
This cannot be seen with the naked eye and is often not mentioned on labels. If the fabric has a coating, the dye will not pick up (well) and thus the fabric will not color or will color only slightly.
It is recommended to wash a new fabric or garment in warm water and detergent before dyeing. This helps remove any finishes that may interfere with color absorption, but this will not remedy genuine coatings.
Bleaching spots and sun damage
Sun and bleach damage the fabric, making it very difficult to dye. Damaged fibers are not always visible to the naked eye. It is practically impossible to achieve even color when fibers are damaged. The paint is likely to stain.
