Any Tie Dye Shirt making experts here?

I am putting on an event in LA and wanted to get some input from someone who is familiar with the process - as of the mid 90s onward. There are new chemicals and processes they use today which are more advanced than 'back in the 60s, 70s and 80s.

Thanks!

Your absolutely right. And that's what i'm looking to work with but instead of just hot water and dye, you now need Salt, Urea and Soda Ash.

Hopefully, someone on the boards will have some direct experience!

Thanks.
