Default Re: Re-Dying old t-shirts

Hi Bill,
You may want to go to a fabric store/craft store that sells fabric dyes and ask the sales person to recommend you a dye that will work the best. Depending on a kind of fabric dye there are different tricks for color fastening - like adding some salt or vinegar into your dye solution (should be explained on a packet of dye)

Dye-sublimation is a process of full color digital printing on synthetic fabrics and polymers, so you are right - the question of fabric dyeing for cotton will get lost here. You may want to try re-posting in a different section of the forums.

Good luck with it!
