This Stuff Works
I've just started tie dyeing and I read online that Retayne stops colours from running. Following the instructions found on the "Man Sewing" website I added a small amount of Retayne to a bucket of hot water and swished the fabric I was going to dye in it for 20 minutes and then rinsed and dried. I then carried out my tie dye project . Once the dye was fixed, rinsed and washed , I put a piece of white cotton over the dyed fabric and ironed it. There was no dye transference onto the piece of white cotton , so it would appear, Retayne works.
