Afterfix

A shortcut fixative for painting with Fiber Reactive Dyes on small projects. Just mix the dye with water and a little thickener and paint with it on your fabric. Let it dry (instead of leaving damp), then slather the painted area with Dharma's Afterfix by painting it on with a brush or foam brush. Now, cover it with plastic and let sit for one hour only, wash out the Afterfix and the excess dye and you are done. Works equally well on cotton and silk. The only drawback with this stuff is if you let it dry on anything, it does not come off. So don't let it dry on anything! Colors may not be quite as brilliant as when you use Soda Ash. This product is kind of thick, which makes it practical mainly for small projects. If you thin the product, you dilute it's fixing abilities. Great for class situations where time is limited.
