> 24 hourI used it to dye two phone cases. both of them were crystal clear flexible cases (TPU material). I used 4 teaspoons of Tropical Teal color plus one cup of hot water from a tea kettle in a pyrex dish. I didnt choose stovetop, I was worried it would warp the case. the water cooled as I used it, but it turned out fine. edit: several months later, these cases still look wonderful. the dye never wore off. UPDATE: Ive used the graphite color of this dye for several other projects. success varies depending on what material you use. the items that had a lot of nylon content worked really well, and so did one sweater that was 75% rayon. some socks that were 97% polyester did not take the dye at all. also, the projects where I was refreshing the color worked best -- for example: faded black clothes looked brand new after I refreshed them with graphite dye, but the white clothes I dyed turned out dark grey and slightly uneven. Im not surprised, but figured Id pass that on. basically, the more subtle of a change youre going for, the better. also, consider the fact that mixed materials are going to give you mixed results. for example, thread might not take the dye as much as the rest of the garment.

> 24 hourI ordered the Tropical Teal dye for synthetics to dye some fabric shower curtains for my new classroom. I got the dye today and the outside of the bottle was the perfect shade! Unfortunately, when I dyed my shower curtains (all 6 of them), they came out electric blue! I am so disappointed because I thought I found the perfect color. I’m not sure if the dye I received was mislabeled or if “Tropical Teal” is actually just supposed to be electric blue.

> 24 hourIt was not as vibrant as it seemed. I was dying polyester so it may have been the material but I still liked the color. Ended up more of a baby blue!

> 24 hourThis dye works if you can submerge the item you are coloring. Does not work well on furniture unless you can submerge it under heat as instructed in directions. Otherwise it is very difficult to get an even color. Used on chairs but they came out uneven in color and light. I used two bottles of dye and the fixative. Gonna try spray paint for an even look. Recommend if you can follow directions.

> 24 hourRit Dye is the best & I have used it for years. It works great in a top loader but not as good in a front loader but that makes sense because you are suppose to prepare the clothes by wetting them, mix the color well (cant do that in a front loader) Then take the wet coth or clothes and put them in the washer with the prepared dye. Let them agitate and then turn off and let them soak in the dye. You cant do any of that in a front loader. If you follow those steps and add either some White apple cider vinegar to make the dye stay, or the additive Rit makes called Rit Color Stay Dye Fixative the color will turn out great. I used a front loader once, only option available at the time, and it came out spotted tiedye looking. Dont do it. Use a top loader and you will love it.
