Keeping a constant, high temp, and acidity not too high seems to work best, I got a true royal blue that way. The higher the acidity, the faster the "strike", and the more likely to get separation :-( Leaving it overnight helps too.Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05686538304543858955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34870984.post-49782818019276072062007-02-04T21:44:00.000-08:002007-02-04T21:44:00.000-08:00It's all to do with the Red #3 portion of the dye,...It's all to do with the Red #3 portion of the dye, which needs a different acidity from the blue components.
