JacquardIdye Polyester Dye: Black

There was a skirt I fell in love with at Target, but it had polka dots. I am not a polka dot girlie. But the skirt was polyester, so what could I do? After some research, this was a highly suggested product. It worked great! No more polka dots, just a solid black skirt with a silhouette and ruffle I love.Word of caution: It made my kitchen smell like burning tires. Keep your fan on and a window open. Also, do NOT rinse it out in a bathtub. Use a stainless steel sink or something. It will leave a gray ring in your plastic tub.

This is incredible! Nearly fully restored my 100% polyester patio furniture. I say nearly because it could be a little darker, which is more obvious when you look underneath (but the important part is the surface so no big deal). I followed the instructions very carefully as others have suggested - pre-wet material, stir constantly for 30 mins to 1 hour - supposedly the longer you go the deeper the color, so I went to 55 minutes before my arms were completely exhausted as I needed it to get really dark. I bought a cheap 12qt stainless steel pot. You do need to be careful of the splash zone since you need it at a rolling boil the whole time, I’ve got a white tiling on my backsplash and didn’t think about it and it was too late to protect - the first splash left a few spots in the grout (the actual glossy tile was easy to wipe off), so be careful.

NOT worth the purchase. Be forewarned. Doesn't stain 100% and leaves a permanent chemical smell in clothing. Horrible product!

Product did not work to dye synthetics black. For reference I used the stovetop cook method bringing water to a boil then adding the dye and color enhancer. I then added my pre wet garments (in this case a pair of light blue polyester jogging pants and a white rayon t shirt). I cooked the items with stirring for an hour and took them out. They still looked splotchy so I put them back in for an additional 30 minutes. Rinsed out excess dye and use a color fastener to keep them from bleeding (this is a separate product also by the same company). After color fastener and washing the garments came out looking a greyish/green color? The jogging pants are still really patchy though they are 100% polyester. Idk maybe with time these will look distressed? I don’t mind the color but the color fastener does not work at all and the dye has been coming off on my legs from the jogging pants. I think it’s fine on the tshirt (color fastener seems to work ok with rayon). Will be washing a few more timesToday to see what happens but also to get out any excessive dye.

Worked fine. 100% come out charcoal grey and not black on my acrylic/polyester socks. Happy with the results and easy of use however I wished things ended up black which is why I tried this over the RIT synthetic dye.

Let me start by saying I've dabbled in dying, but am not a serious dyer of things. I've dyed some doilies and such to hide staining (and to go with a macabre theme) using Rit Dyemore for synthetics. I got lovely dark grey's, but not BLACK. Now to this. I bought some cheap plastic net mesh material at Joann's on sale to use for a project, but it was ELECTRIC BLUE. I decided at the price it was, I'd dye it. Knowing I could never expect to achieve my desired end color with the Rit, I hit Amazon and started reading reviews. I settled on this, bought it, and eagerly awaited it's arrival. I'll tell you it worked with a dream now so you can stop reading if you just want to make sure it works. IT WORKS! Ok. Still with me? Holy CRAP did it work! I use a stainless steel stock pot and tongs when I dye things on the stove. I have always poured the dye water down my pink porcelain sink. I've needed to use a little elbow grease to get everything clean before, but not excessively difficult. THIS though? The electric blue had metallic glitter flecks. It is now a GORGEOUS metallic black shimmery wonder. Achievement unlocked. The stainless steel pot was cleaned with bleach this time. The sink was filled with a bleach solution and allowed to soak as it was a lovely shade of grey (an improvement in my mind, but we rent). There are a few spots on the pink countertop near the stove, but that's the next remodel task and it's starting to peel up in other areas. I was EXTREMELY CAREFUL! A single drop of this will stain even METAL almost immediately! It also smelled horrible. The fabric has been washed twice and still stinks. Luckily it's going to become a display rack for hair combs, so I don't really care that it's pungent. I will absolutely use this again, but OUTSIDE! We have a black folding table and we will be using that and our camp stove in future and that stock pot is now dedicated to this smelly messy wonderful process! Water to be poured on the blacktop! It says it can dye 3D printed objects and I completely believe it!

I bought this in order to dye synthetic hair extensions and it worked like a charm. Easy instructions and I finally have the black hair that actually matches my own. Good quality and color accuracy, at least for the black. Haven't tried any other colors.
