I have these skating shoes that I love the design of, except they have this really eh print. I was wondering how I could just make them white without ruining them

Pic related is the shoe, they've worn pretty well but I think they would look better in white.

>> No.11034976

>>11034959
you could try the rit shit that is supposed to remove color before dyeing, I don't recall what it's called atm but it's supposed to be less harsh than bleach and can be used multiple times on the same thing without worrying about it falling apart. sorry if that wasn't too helpful, I'm honestly not too sure. Do some research and I'm sure you'll find something.

Thanks for the info, I'll look into that man. Keep up the cool shit you do, it's cool and actually contributes to the board. Unfortunately people will skip right past these threads.

it's whatever, I'll help out who I can, whether it be through sparking ideas or through my limited advice, but I'm mostly here to get inspiration and tips myself, so I don't really mind if my threads don't go crazy. I just genuinely enjoy the people here.

>x200g of Nylon Machine Dye. Looking back, I would first have done 1 package first, see how that turns out and then the second. The pattern is quite visible when the sunlight hits it. I hope it will fade over the years.

Got a pair of pre owned nudies for 60$ and they fit a little bit around my thighs. Could I shrink them with hot water then throw them in the hot drier to make them slimmer and have them shape to my leg and not go back to its original form?

Dont do it.

Rit is shit.

It's not a fabric reactant dye, it's not strong enough to really BOND with the fabric, it just sits there. Any other water will make it run, and washing clothes with that shit on it in the washer/dryer will wreck the rest of your crap and your machine.

This being said, look at the shirt I made with tintex.
