    Go out and rebuy it. It will then show up. That always happens to me.

    I would suggest to anyone planning on using the red/white combo in a quilt to read, read, read, the pros and cons of Retayne and Synthralpol before starting your project.[/QUOTE]


    My kids love Christmas in July....It usually takes about that long to find what I put away when I purchased it early for the Christmas before!!!! I just found the Pampered Chef double boilers the other day!!! lol You have just put the fear in me in using Retayne. I've used it for years, following the hot water wash for 20 minutes, using one teaspoon for each yard, and drying immediately instructions, with NO problem. You mentioned 'reading the instructions first"....what didn't you do that may have caused your whites to turn pink? I've NEVER had to use color catchers.

    LOL ain't that the truth??? Actually I'm trying my best to have a location labeled in my mind" safe place". Then if I want to find something I remember to check the one safe place location. However, the one safe place for me is in the bathroom. Go figure???


    It seems that's the place I tend to spend a lot of my time too. (roll eyes)

    Go buy another bottle and you'll be guaranteed to find the first one within twenty-four hours! No matter how long you wait to buy the second one, the first won't show up until it's been replaced. LOL! (This is what happens to me anyway.) I think I'm going to start making a list of all the safe places I put things in, but then if I put the list in a safe place, will I be able to find it?!?!?

    A few members said that sometimes it's just bad fabric. This has got to be true as it's still bleeding after using Retayne, 5 or 6 washings, and a whole box of color catchers.
