Detailed Description [Features]
Bengala dye is a natural dye that can be dyed with water.
The trick is to not waste water and to knead the fabric well when dyeing.

Since this product is made from natural materials, it can be used safely for a variety of purposes.

[Handling Precautions]
● When using, wear vinyl gloves or an apron to prevent the liquid from coming into contact with clothing, skin, etc.
● If it adheres to the surface, it will cause discoloration, so please wash it off immediately with water.
●Not for drinking purposes.
● If the product gets into your eyes or mouth, wash your eyes and gargle immediately.
● If you feel pain, consult a doctor.
● Natural rubber latex is included as a fixing agent.
Although the protein that causes allergies has been reduced, there are individual differences, so if you have a rubber allergy, please refrain from using this product.

[About storage]
Expiration date: Approximately one year if unopened.
● Use as soon as possible after opening.
● Please note that storing the product in the summer or in high temperatures under direct sunlight may cause deterioration in quality and spoilage.

[How to use]
If you pre-dye the fabric before dyeing, the dye will be absorbed better and the dye will be soaked up so well that the dye solution becomes transparent.

Bengala dyeing procedure

(1) Prepare a bucket with enough water to cover the fabric.
As a guideline, use 10 times the weight of the dough in water.

(2) Before dyeing, thoroughly soak the entire garment in water and squeeze it out lightly.
For fabrics that are difficult for water to penetrate, soak them in hot water once to remove oil.

(3) The dye liquid will have settled, so shake it well before using.
Dissolve about 5% of the dye solution by weight of the fabric without checking it and mix well.

(4) Add the fabric and knead well for 1 to 2 minutes before dyeing.
By kneading well, the dye will penetrate deeply into the fibers and become more resistant to fading.
If you want a darker dye, add more liquid and dye repeatedly.

(5) Once dyed, squeeze the water out by hand or spin-dry, then dry completely in the sun.
Thorough drying will allow the color to set more firmly, resulting in less uneven dyeing.
