Retayne vs Synthrapol.
Ok, speak slowly and maybe this will soak into my brain this time. When do you use Synthrapol and when do you use Retayne. I'm still confused.
Is there a good place to purchase them that sells other notions? I hate paying shipping for 1 thing. I'll check LQS but I don't remember seeing it. Of course, I wasn't looking for it either.

Exactly... Use Retayne before you cut , it will set the unset dyes. Synthropol is used once a project has been completed , and you can not set the dyes, as ..if bleeding occurs Retayne will set the bleed. Sythropol will keep the suspended dye excess from "attaching" to the other fabrics.
Key to the use of both is the water temperature both require 140 degree water to be effective.

JoAnn's actually has both of them in the small bottles online. You can usually get free shipping with a coupon and a minimum $ order. Since they're both on sale right now the small bottles might be cost effective.
