Why Salt

(1/3) > >>

CD17:
Ok I just getting ready to dye some Tuffs back to Blue & nowhere on the tin of dye does it say use salt, so what's the salt for  :-\

I know loads of people have dyed stuff & they have all added salt, but why  ???

kdw712:
from the dylon site

Q Why do I need to use salt?

 
A You need to use salt with all DYLON dyes except Wash & Dye (it's already in Wash & Dye) because it opens up the pores of the fabric and allows the dye to be absorbed.
 


still don't fully explain does it  :-\

CD17:
Yes for fabric it says to use it, but on Tuffs  :-\

rollin72:
there should be an instruction pamflet in the tub of dye, it tells you there to use salt but dont explain why, opening the pores sounds good though :daumenhoch:

rollin72:
what dye are you using
