RitDyeMore Liquid Dye, Apricot Orange 7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)

I did so many clothes, that I was throwing hats in for fun

I haven't used the dye yet but the delivery was excellent! I already know how Rit dyes are such a great product. So I'm ginving this a "5" for the delivery. :D

I LOVE this product. My cushions were sun bleached and I wanted to fix the color on a cheaper budget. I bought 10 bottles of the apricot orange and because my patio cushions were 100% polyester I did 1 bottle per pound. I had to repeat the dye process 10 times and I used my stainless steel sinks because my pots were not big enough. For each round of dye, I kept the dyed water in the sink about 160 F because it wouldn’t stay 200+ F. I let the fabric sit for 30 minutes adding extra hot water, the. Let it sit another 30 minutes not adding hot water and just stirring it once in a while. I was worried the dye wouldn’t hold because the fabric is waterproof and 100% polyester but it WORKED! I STRONGLY RECOMMEND Rit Dyemore for synthetic materials.

This does dye plastic parts quite well, but I made a mistake you may avoid with this review. After reading a few online articles about how some people's project came out lighter than they expected, well...I used the whole bottle on a project. That was too much dye, it came out more of a super dark red instead of orange...not what I wanted. I "fixed" the project by just using Rit Dyemore Charcoal colored dye, making the parts almost black, which looked good. The lesson is if you use a light Ritmore dye, you need to get some scrap material that matches what you are going to dye, and start slowly increasing the concentration of dye in the boiling water while testing your scrap to get the exact shade you want (unless it is charcoal/black, then who cares, use the whole bottle). Also, I did the whole project outside with a portable stove burner...there is a slight smell I didn't want in the house, and if there was a spill by accident, it would be outside, no harm no foul. Also think out your disposal plan for the old dye...I would not pour it down a sink unless it is a sink that cannot stain. Good product if you are careful and think your project plan through from end to end steps.

Good dye. It does what it should - dye.

I had tried to dye synthetic fabrics before with no success. However, this is made for synthetics and works perfectly.

They turned out amazing!

[Update] despite many online DIY how to articles, this is NOT for tinting glasses. Search for LENS DYE instead.I learned from various videos that show how optical shops tint lenses so I gave it a try. I am on the computer 15 hrs a day for past 30 years and last year I was diagnosed with macular degeneration. So I used a ramen cooker which has a low boil setting at about 195 degrees, mixed a teaspoon of dish soap with 1/3 bottle of dye, then let it soaked for an hour. As my picture shows, the tint is very light, but the edges are almost red. Not sure if it was affected by existing coatings. I will try again with the entire bottle of dye. Well tried again with 2/3 bottle and still did not work. See update above.
