I am very interested in achieving a "Tie-Dye" effect on garments that are made of 92% nylon and 8% spandex. My research has led me to acid dyes. I know that acid dyes are intended for tub dying. However, I was wondering if I could mix the dye as though I were silk painting, then apply it in larger amounts similar to tie-dying, and then steam set the garment to bring out the color. In my head this seems to make sense, but I understand that I am trying to use something for a purpose other than it is intended. I just wanted to know if anyone had any experience or thoughts regarding this matter. Thanks.

Hi,
The method you described should work as the dyes require heat to set them... do a test first. Celia
