Tub Dye Method: The wood can be dyed according to the standard Procion MX tub dyeing instructions* and left to set in the dyebath for 12 hours after the soda ash has been added.
Direct Application Method: Apply the dye, soda ash and water directly to the wood as in the standard tye dye*. Let the wood set 4 to 24 hours and rinse.
These are just two of many methods that can be used to apply dyes to wood.
Although the Procion MX dyes were not developed specifically for dyeing wood, pastel and water color effects can be achieved on untreated wood. Sometimes the addition of a small amount of isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol from the drug store) will greatly increase the penetration of the dye solution into the wood.
Color Remover (Thiourea Dioxide) is commonly used to remove enough color to redye. See the catalog under Chemicals. Ordinary color removers available in grocery or drug stores will also work well on the Procion MX dyes. Any kind of bleach (liquid or powder) will remove Procion MX dyes to white in most cases.
TJ inks are art quality and permanent on most surfaces.
