Prewash the shirt with detergent. 2. Soak the shirt in Soda Ash for minimum of 1hr and maximum of 48hrs. Soda Ash mixture(1 cup per 1 gallon.) Soda ash is reusable. 3. Dry the shirt a bit (Damp.) Not so wet and not so dry. 4. Fold the shirt according to the desired design(Spiral, Scrunch, Mandala, Geode & etc..,) 5. For Liquid, Dye and Water ratio. Black and Red - 2-4 tsp dye powder to 100ml water Other Color - 1tsp for 100ml Urea - 1tsp to 300ml Pastel Color - 1/8 tsp to 100ml. Note* It depends on the shade you want to achieve. The more dye the darker shade the more water the lighter shade. 6. Apply the Dye. Once done put it inside the plastic bag and set aside for 2-3days. This process is called curing process.
