Great podcast! Just listened to the one on dying. It was a great introductory overview. There could have been more on health and safety. Important to mention use of a respirator for prolonged exposure to dye fumes. Also safety goggles ( mixing dye powders and exposure to fumes as well). Lastly, is it safe to pour dye down the drain?
Thoroughly yours,
Brianna
Brianna, thanks so much for your message and feedback! We have taken the safety note into consideration and appreciate this comment. As for pouring dye down the drain, always consult the dye products you are using and see if it is possible. For example, Rit Dye does specify that you can pour their dye down the drain. You should be safe to do so, but always better to check these things 🙂 Thanks so much for listening!
Impressive! Thanks for sharing this.
Glad you enjoyed it!
