Made in USA.

Review: It works! - I was a little skeptical because the dye looked gray and soapy out the bottle. I have done cyanotypes before so I was expecting a more watery dye. It worked great. I dyed a pair of jeans shorts (cotton/elastane blend) and exposed it to sunlight for 10 mins. I did not use the recommended detergent to wash my clothes and the design held up.
Review: Great warm neutral color - These dyes are great and this sepia color is a really nice neutral warm tone that is appealing to both men and women.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will the image still last without using the SolarFast detergent wash after the dye?**
A: It should! I used this product about a year ago without the detergent and I haven't had any issues with the images fading.

**Q: Can you use xray film?**
A: Yes you can, but it will give you dark bones and light negative space.  So consider an Xray is a positive and not a negative

**Q: Will the image still last without using the SolarFast detergent wash after the dye?**
A: Probably not. Exposing it to the sun without the wash will continue to expose the image, and all parts that have unexposed dye will become dark, unless you leave dye off of some parts. This would be hard for photo exposure, but may be possible with tie-dye. Not sure if the dye itself comes out with regular clothing detergent prior to "fixing" it with the solarfast detergent. Hope this helps.

**Q: Does anyone know how long to make a print with the blue on fabric?**
A: It varies depending on the strength of the sun and how clear the sky is (it takes longer if there are clouds), but I've found you can get a good print in about 10 minutes on a sunny day. I don't remember what it is off the top of my head, but the package also has the recommended exposure time on it.
