Product Information
Full details
Designed for crafters, cosplayers, and hobbyists, the Jacquard iDye Poly in Turquoise is the industry-standard solution for dyeing synthetic materials like polyester, nylon, and certain plastics that standard fabric dyes cannot penetrate. It offers an easy-to-use, mess-free application method, though it requires a simmering stove-top process, which may not be suitable for all heat-sensitive items.

FAQs
Can I use this in my washing machine?
iDye Poly requires a stovetop simmer to dye synthetic fibers effectively; standard washing machines do not reach the necessary temperatures.
Will this dye my 3D prints?
Yes, it is highly effective on 3D printed nylon and many other synthetic plastics.
Do I need to add salt or vinegar?
No, the iDye Poly system is self-contained with the intensifier provided in the kit.
Is the dye permanent?
Yes, once the synthetic fiber has been heat-set, the color is permanent and wash-fast.
Can I mix colors?
Yes, you can mix different iDye Poly colors together to create custom shades.
Is it safe for my pots?
It is recommended to use a dedicated stainless steel or enamel pot solely for dyeing, as residues can be difficult to fully scrub away.
Troubleshooting
Color is light or splotchy
Ensure the water was at a consistent simmer throughout the entire process and that the item had enough room to move freely in the pot.
Color does not adhere to the fabric
Confirm the material is actually synthetic; iDye Poly will not work on 100% natural fibers like cotton or silk without the proper complementary dye.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Extremely effective on hard-to-dye synthetic materials
- No messy powders to inhale or clean up
- Works on non-fabric items like plastics and 3D prints
- Professional-grade, highly saturated color output
Cons
- Requires stovetop simmering, limiting the size of items you can dye
- Cannot be used on items that cannot withstand high heat
- Not suitable for natural fibers like cotton or linen without using a separate additive product
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, fill a stainless steel or enamel pot with enough water to allow your items to move freely. Drop the dissolvable dye packet into the water and stir until fully dissolved. Add the color intensifier provided in the package, then introduce your fabric or objects. Bring the water to a low simmer, ensuring it does not reach a rolling boil, and maintain this temperature while stirring frequently for 30 to 60 minutes. Once finished, rinse the items in warm water and wash with a mild detergent. Always use a dedicated dyeing pot, as synthetic dyes can leave residue that may be difficult to remove from cookware used for food preparation.
