Please read directions carefully before starting

This is a professional dye for Mohair, Nylon, Silk or Wool doll hair. Everything you need is in the package. Always do test samples before working on a large project. For additional information, visit our web site at www.prochemical.com.

Wear rubber gloves, apron or old clothes.

All utensils used for dyeing should not be used for food preparation.

Immersion Dyeing for One Ounce (30 gm) of Doll Hair:

1. Wet out the fiber in one gallon of warm (120^oF/49^oC) water bath containing ½ teaspoon (2.5ml) of Synthrapol.

2. For the dyepot, use a stainless steel or unchipped enamel pan. Add 2 ½ cups (625ml) of room temperature 75^oF to 95^oF (24^o to 35^oC) water.

3. Measure ½ teaspoon (1.25 gm) of the dye powder and dissolve the dye with a small quantity of boiling water. Add more water to equal one cup (250 ml). Mix well and add to your dyebath.

4. Squeeze out the excess water from your doll hair and add to the dye bath.

5. Heat slowly to a boil (212^oF/100^oC) while gently stirring, every now and then. If you are dyeing silk, raise the temperature no higher than 185^oF/85^oC, or you may lose the luster of the silk.

6. Keep the dyebath at a slow simmer and dye the doll hair for 30 minutes, gently stirring every 5 or 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and let the dyebath cool to room temperature.

7. Remove the doll hair and rinse in warm (120^oF/40^oC) water, squeezing out excess water and letting the doll hair air dry.
