Procion MX Clothing Dye On Metal?Will Procion MX clothing dye color metal? I have a nice trench
coat that
I want to redye, and it has a lot of eyelets, D-rings, etc. I intend
to use Jet Black Procion MX dye. Will the Procion MX dye stain or affect
stainless steel? Thanks!
Stainless steel will be completely unaffected by Procion MX dyes. It will look fine afterwards. In contrast, aluminum metal will react with the soda ash (not with the dye itself), and will turn dark. You might want to know that the stitching that holds the coat together, and any decorative topstitching, is almost certainly made of polyester thread, which, like the stainless steel, will stay whatever color it was before dyeing. Only natural fibers, such as cotton, rayon, or bamboo, will take the dye. (Please help support this web site. Thank you.)
