Safety Considerations

• We do not reccomend spraying with Liquid Procion H Dyes.
• Wear thin latex rubber gloves throughout preparation and painting procedures for safety and cleanliness.
• Store all dyes and chemcials in clearly marked and dated containers out of reach of children and pets in a cool dry place.
• Use all dye containers or utensils only for dyeing, never for food preparation.

Usage

• Use Toning Black 25% to tone and mix deeper shades.
• Deep Black 40% is best used to achieve a true deep black.
• Maximum saturation levels for Liquid Procion H dye concentrates are:
• for 25% dye concentrate, 40 ml of dye per 125 ml chemical water
• for 40% dye concentrate, 30 ml of dye per 125 ml chemical water
• When painting wool, omit baking soda.
• Silk painting: if layering colors in a watercolor style, decrease baking soda to 1/2 tsp. (2.5 grams) per 125 ml chemical water.
• Color Strength: All dye colors are of a similar mixing strength except for Brilliant Yellow, True Red and Toning Black, which are weaker.
• Primary Colors: To mix bright, clear colors, use Brilliant Yellow, Fachsia, Turquoise and Blue Violet. To mix subdued colors, use Gold Yellow, True Red and Royal Blue.
• If you are using Presist as a resist, use unprinted newsprint paper when steaming. If the paper stacks to the softened Presist, it will easily wash out during the rinsing process.
• Oversteaming will not make colors brighter or more permanent. It may increase the chance of bleeding, backstaining or water spots.
