Discharge paste is a reducing agent for safely removing color from natural fibers, and is even safe on silk. It removes most fiber reactive dyes (such as Dharma's Fiber Reactive MX dyes), direct dyes, and acid dyes. It is thick enough to block print, brush it on, screen it on, stencil it on, etc. You can apply the paste to your fabric, let it dry and steam it with a steam iron or steam in a steamer for 10 minutes or so, until it stops discharging. Then wash your fabric in a good detergent like Synthrapol, and rinse in Milsoft to restore softness.
Discharge Paste does not always remove all of the color, it depends on the dye and the color to which it is applied. Always best to test. We have also found it works best when fairly fresh. It can be used for creating interesting negative image effects. Has strong ammonia smell. Use in silk painting and tie-dye: paint on retied, dyed garments after they have dried for great effects.
See our Discharging Directions for more info. It is fairly safe to use but does have a strong ammonia smell so use it in a well ventilated place.
Note - Due to a changes in the black dyes used on our pre-dyed BLACK clothing items, Discharge Paste sporadically works on these items. Test, test, test! At this point, the only thing working consistently on our pre-dyed black Rayon and Cotton clothing is pure bleach.

I will echo the perennial reminder: TEST! This was the first time I had tried discharging, and the results were not what I expected, but they were definitely interesting. I found that steaming with an iron did almost NOTHING. Had to use a pot on the stove with one of those folding metal steamer baskets. WOW! I discharged raw silk dyed with acid dye (color was spruce). Areas painted with the discharge paste turned shades of blue and orange. Very cool but very unexpected!

Nicely activates with heat. Almost too thick to use in silk screen.
