Jacquard SolarFast Wash, Dye Fixative and Textile Cleaner for Sun Printing, Prevents Backstaining and Enhances Colour on Fabric, 8oz 236ml Bottle

Comes out HOT pink even if I leave for 3x the recommended exposure time at midday. I guess it makes sense that the light areas would be pale pink but the fully exposed areas are basically fluorescent hot pink before and after the wash, following the instructions. Really cute colour but maybe not what my boyfriend is expecting for his xmas present haha

This is essential for using with solarfast dyes. without it, my image mostly bled out and was not "visible" -- the whole fabric is dyed. This seems to keep the dye to the proper area. And definitely, if you use fabric, throw it in the washing machine on HOT after exposing, with 4 capsules of this. With this method, it works. Without it, I could not get the dye alone to work.

This has such clear instructions. I had so much fun playing around with this. I was making t-shirts for my band, and this was a fairly cheap way to get started in Sun printing a photo negative onto t-shirts. They all came out differently, which makes for a really personal and special touch.

This made ALL the difference in dying large pieces of fabric and getting a consistent wash.

Works better with thicker application and much longer exposure.

I’m sure the product will work fine but the bottle of solarfast didn’t come with a cap? lol
