h Posted August 23, 2001 Report Share Posted August 23, 2001 ok i went and lost the instructions for the tie dye cords, do you remember the best way to use them? I remember you said something about baggies and simmering for 20 minutes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indica Posted August 23, 2001 Report Share Posted August 23, 2001 Yah.. just tye the cord like normal t/d (swiral etc..). Then put a little bit of boiling water and a bit of salt in a ziplock, then simmer it in a bigger bowl of boiling water for like 20 mins. They tell you to put the t/d straight in a bowl of boiling water but I find that, when you have too much water, the dye gets wasted in the water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indica Posted August 24, 2001 Report Share Posted August 24, 2001 Yah.. I forgot the wostershire sauce and tabasco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h Posted August 24, 2001 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2001 it's the cords graham, they come "impregnated" with the dye. (i just like saying impregnated) so ya, i guess you just wrap em up and simmer. The baggie is a great tip. thanks andy! I assume i don't need the worcheshire or tabasco, cuz once i put the clothes on i'll be providing the spice ! WOO YA ! SAUCY ! (sorry, i don't know where that came from) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
