I think you will love Out White Brite for reverse dyeing. It removes a lot of color and works really fast.

Awesome - I'm glad it helped!

I'm glad you liked it.

Thanks for watching!

Thank you - I'm glad you enjoyed it.

You are so welcome! I'm glad it was helpful to you. 😀

Good morning! I'm so glad that you are safe - those fires can move really quickly. I think bleach is still one of the most versatile color removers. I've been bleaching some long sleeve colored shirts and then leaving them the bleached color without adding dye on the shirt. I love some of the colors that are formed from bleach. Out White Brite is my go to color remover though if I want to dye the shirt afterwards. The first time I used it I was amazed at how quickly it worked, how light it got the shirt, and that it didn't damage the fabric. I'm excited to see what you think about it when you try it. Have a great day, enjoy your bleach dyeing and stay safe! 🙂

Thank you!

I think it kind of depends on the design. I like to use OWB on thick folds like geodes after they have dried out a little bit. I want to make sure it soaks all the way into the middle of the fold.

Thanks! OWB is a great product for reverse dyeing or discharge dyeing.

Awesome - I'm glad you liked it! I love how quickly Out White Brite works, and with no fabric damage.

Thank you!

Awesome - I think you are going really like the way OWB removes the color from shirts.

Thank you! I really love the orange and black combination on the bleached shirt too. Have fun with it!

I’ve heard all fabric bleach is actually hydrogen peroxide and it works

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it! 🙂

Thank you so much 😀

Thank you! 🙂

That's great - I'm glad you enjoyed the video! 🙂

Thank you - I'm glad you like it! The chemical composition of Out White Brite is different. It does contain sodium hydrosulfite which is a reducing agent and can be used to remove color, but it isn't as aggressive as bleach.

Canadian Tire has them for around $10. Just got them yesterday and today.

Thank you so much! No, I have used it on several polyester lined hoodies and it didn't remove the color from the polyester portion.

Thank you! 🙂

I'm glad you enjoyed it! If you are making 100 shirts, I would do them in batches. I've never made that many at a time, so I have no clue how much it would take for sure. If I were making them, I would do 10 shirts at a time and plan on about 5 bottles of Out White Brite for all the shirts. After you do one batch, you'll get a better feel for how much Out White Brite you like to use.

Thank you! I have several respirators that I wear. I use a P100 when I handle dye. However, I recently purchased another P100 mask that is supposed to help with dust and fumes and that is the one I've been wearing when I reverse dye. So far it seems to work really well. Here is a link to that one: amzn.to/3ApjGEm

@@FunEndeavors Thanks so much for the info.

@@_C_R_J You're welcome!

If you are losing the black line pattern, you are probably not pulling the sinew tight enough. I think it is easier to get a tight sinew line using some kind of sinew puller. It doesn't have to be fancy, anything that you can grip tightly that won't break will work. I have a couple that I use. One of mine is wooden, and the other one is 3D printed. The printed one came from "Boredom With Jenn" on Etsy. I've heard of people using tart tampers and even dog toys though. If the line is tight enough, the OWB won't get underneath it and remove the color there. Mandala folds are really thick and it takes a lot of pulling to get the sinew super tight.

It is a sinew puller that I bought from Nikolay Savin. If you are interested in purchasing one, he can be contacted through his facebook page: facebook.com/nstiedye/ You're right - I've ruined several shirts by bleaching them.

Do you have Rit Color Removal available in your area? It is a great alternative to Out White Brite. That's what I used to use.

Yes, those dyes will work great! Those are the type of dyes that I use.

No, I haven't ever used both together.

No, I haven't tried that.

I don't think I have a video showing that particular fold. I'll add it to my list though to make one.

I haven't figured out a way to do that yet. Since the water needs to be boiling hot, it isn't quite as easy to put in just small places like bleach.

I haven't ever used OWB that way. I'm not sure if that would work or not. I've only submerged my shirts to remove the color.

Thank you! I personally haven't had that issue, but I know others who have had. I think it has something to do with the way the shirt was dyed the first time, and what type of dye was used. It's a bummer when you want to reverse dye that item, but if you wanted to wear it as is - that would be great because it probably wouldn't fade a lot. It can sometimes be due to coatings on the fabric too. However since you used OWB on the dress twice, any coating would have been gone after the first time. You're right though - it is bizarre!

I have been trying to use OWB a black shirt dress cotton, it will not work, bleach won’t work either. I’m doing something wrong.

I haven't ever tried that. It needs to be mixed with boiling hot water to work the most effectively.

I use freezer paper stencils with bleach, and they work really well. This is the challenge I’m having too, to get more precise shapes. I’m going to try making the owb into sort of a paste and spread it on a stencil on just a piece of fabric and see how that works. Then maybe use a warm iron and silicone iron sheet on top to give it the heat. I really want this to work!

Thank you! I don't know if you have Rit Color Remover available there. It is similar to Out White Brite - it takes a bit longer to remove the color though.

@@FunEndeavors we do have rit, how ever white bright looks to have better results.

​@@ShaunTroy It definitely works faster than the Rit Color Remover. I think you can probably get the same lightness in the shirt with Rit Color Remover and boiling hot water, but it will take a little bit longer.

The bubbling happens when the bleach meets the hydrogen peroxide. Your hydrogen peroxide solution was probably a bit more concentrated than mine. Either that or I rinsed out a bit more of the bleach from my shirt before putting it in the neutralizing solution. You can neutralize more than 1 shirt at a time - just make sure you have plenty of hydrogen peroxide solution so that all the shirts get well saturated with it. If you are going to neutralize them one at a time and not all at once - I would just make a new batch each time. If you only make up enough hydrogen peroxide solution for one shirt and then use it over and over - it won't still be as effective after a couple of shirts.

They don't have to be. They can be totally dry. I think it is easier to tie them and get the sinew tight when they are damp though.

Yikes - blue is a tough one. I've had that happen before too with blue shirts. I prefer not to use bleach since it can damage the fabric, but that may be a better option on the jeans. If you don't want to try bleach, Dharma has several color removers available on their website. I have used the deColourant paste before, but I haven't tried any of the others. Here is a link to Dharma's color remover page: www.dharmatrading.com/chemicals/color-removers-discharge-paste.html

I'm not sure. The water has to be really hot for it to work properly.

@@FunEndeavors thank you for letting me know

I have mainly tried it on 100% cotton items. I have used it on the Buffalo hoodies though that are viscose and cotton with polyester on the inside. The inside doesn't normally lighten, so I don't think it works well on polyester. The main thing that I've found is that it doesn't always work on blue items. There is something about the color blue that doesn't work very well with color removers. The color will lighten, but most of the time it won't be totally removed. With the exception of navy - I've had good success with navy. Color removers work with some other blues too, but for the most part I go in expecting the blue to not be totally removed.

I don't think it makes a difference. You can use either one. 😀

I wouldn't use the neutralizing solution again. The bleach neutralizes the hydrogen peroxide solution too.

I'm not sure how well it works on polyester. Most of the time polyester doesn't discharge the dye. It won't damage the fabric though.

@@FunEndeavors ok that's thank you. As long as it not going to harm the fabric is worth a try.

@@BlueLantern503 Yes, that's one of the things I love about Out White Brite.

Since I wash my shirts right after using Out White Brite, I don't have a problem with the smell remaining a long time. Usually by the time the shirt has been washed after the dyeing process, the smell is very faint.

I used artificial sinew, and it is wax coated. Here is a link to what I use: amzn.to/2EF28Lu

@@FunEndeavors thank u so much❤️❤️❤️

They are 100% cotton.

There are a lot of different ways to use these products - I'm happy you found one that works well for you.

Unfortunately, polyester doesn't work well with color removers. The Buffalo hoodies are mainly viscose and cotton though which does work. I think most of the polyester on the Buffalo hoodies is on the inside in the fuzzy part.

@@FunEndeavors Ah, that makes a lot of sense... I'll have to try something else. It did come out grey-ish but it looks like I lost a fight with a Sharpie because I left it in for over 24 hours...

It is to neutralize the bleach. Bleach will continue to damage the fabric and you may end up with holes in the fabric unless you neutralize it with a hydrogen peroxide solution of 1 part hydrogen peroxide to 9 parts water.

@@FunEndeavors thank you very much!
