OZEPOL


 

'OZEPOL' Is a liquid  dye designed for Polyester & some other synthetic laces & embellishments.

 

Polyester lace

Buttons

Beaded fringe (composite)

Pearls

& many other synthetic embellishments

Simple to use

 

('Ozepol' is for man-made lace only. For use on laces made from natural fibres use 'Ozecraft' dye)

Some items like beaded/sequinned/pearled lace motifs may need a combination of the two dyes for the desired effect.

('Ozepol' is not meant for children to use - it is a product for adults).

INSTRUCTIONS FOR MICROWAVE -

 

Dyeing of lace by the metre or long strips or wide lace-

 

Heavy plastic jug/container 1-1.5 litre capacity

Eye/dropper/pipette

Measuring cup (A small one from the chemist is perfect)

PLEASE NOTE: CARE MUST BE TAKEN AT ALL TIMES TO AVOID CONTACT WITH STEAM.

 

The depth of colour will depend on how long the lace is boiled or steeped.

Put 1 teaspoon of undiluted dye into the jug & add 250 mls water (this solution will look very weak - the colour will intensify with heat).

Enclose in plastic carry bag & loosely tie the top.

Bring to the boil

Remove & carefully undo the carry bag.

Add the lace you wish to dye.

For a pale shade steep for 1 minute

For darker shades keep checking every minute for the shade desired.

For a really deep colour put the lace into the jug, put inside the carry bag, loosely tie the top & return to the microwave - boil for 2-3 minutes or longer.

Rinse until water runs clear
