Actually, I would recommend just the opposite -- setting the dye with Retayne, then washing later with Synthrapol (so any unset dye particles are suspended in water and rinsed away).
I agree , that Synthropol should be used for items that are already constructed . Retayne for yardage prior to construction.
Do note that the instructions for care once treated with Sythropol require that the item be washed in warm water for subsiquint washings to remain effective( this is on the manufactures instructions) . Retayne requires cold wash for any washes after treatment( also on the manufactures care instructions) .
Oops! I stand corrected, LOL!
