I read the other reviews and had the same experience with being unable to wash all of the glue out and the fabric being really stiff when it was dry. But seeing the result despite the stiffness was worth looking for a solution. Trying to scrub it out was time consuming and didn't really get all the glue out either. But I found a solution that left the fabric soft and glue-free. After I had batched the dye and it was time to wash out the dye and glue I rinsed it well. Then I placed the wet fabric on a flat smooth sheet of plexi ( it's used as an inking plate normally)and took an old plastic gift card to scrap the glue off. Holding the card almost parallel to the plexi it was easy to scrape the now sticky glue off of the fabric. I kept a rag next to me and continued to scrape the glue off of the wet fabric. It was easy to see where the glue remained and I just kept moving the fabric around on the plexi until I had scraped every area.I rinsed it a bit and went back over it making sure I had scraped all the glue off. It took me just a few minutes to scrape a yard and a half of fabric. I then tossed it in the wash with synthrapol and the fabric when dry was beautifully soft without a trace of glue and my resist designs looked great. It also conserved a precious commodity- water! The glue technique is a great alternative for batik or other resist method. I will be doing many more glue resist peojects now that I can get the glue completely out and a soft hand to the fabric.

Used for a faux-batik effect with fiber reactive dyes on cotton. Presoaked items in soda ash allowed to dry applied glue allowed to dry applied dye allowed to dry applied glue allowed to dry applied more dye etc. The glue would not wash out at all. It's still there making the fabric stiff and horrible. It worked fabulously as a resist on a silk hanky with fiber reactive dyes every bit washed out and the hanky is lovely.

does not really work. bleeds and is difficult to wash out. Still trying to get some out of a shirt after double coating to make sure it resisted the dye.....dye still got through it. not a fan

I used this at a kids art camp on silk scarves. It works really well with Dyn-a-flow. I made sure the designs were suitable for the thickness of the lines you can make with a glue bottle and the only issue I had was when someone looked a ton of glue on their project. I threw everything in the washing machine and dryer and almost all of the glue came out. I might have soaked them in warm water before washing.

Used on 100% cotton to make a design before ice dying. It says that you need HOT water and soap to remove but most of my design disappeared while doing a 10 minute soda ash water soak prior to ice dyeing. (I had let the glue dry for 24 hours.) I would love to hear suggestions for what kind of resist to use with ice dyeing.

Easy to apply with a paint brush. Was my first attempt at a resist - it didn't quite turn out the way I expected but did leave an interesting result.
