Bottle? 1:1 ratio? Thanks!** A: Go to this site at Dharma Trading and page down to step 3. https://www.dharmatrading.com/techniques/tiedye/tie-dye-instructions.html step 3: mix your dyes. There is a chart, but I can't copy into this window. Wear your dust mask & gloves! Measure urea and warm water into a container, an old pitcher works well. Use the chart below for amounts. Paste up your dye with the urea water (see below), then add rest of water and stir 'till thoroughly dissolved. Pour into squeeze bottles with a funnel. An already wet, tied up adult tee will absorb about 4 oz of liquid dye, depending on how much you apply. Use this as a guide to help you decide how much to mix up. Check the name of each color on the label of the jar, some colors need more dye, they are marked with an * or ** by the name. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must for pre-tie dying of a fabric *by S***W on September 2, 2023* works well in making most fabrics absorb the tie dye uncomfortable on hands if you don't wash them right away ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ product performed as needed *by C***E on September 12, 2022* Delivered as expected.
