I've never used water soluble aniline dyes, but am dying to try them.
Most are sold in 1 ounce size, suitable for mixing in 1 quart of water. I know you can mix the powder to whatever "shade" you want, but my questions are:
1. If mixed to 1 quart, and partially used, how long is the remainder good for? IE, how long can the rest be stored in capped jars?
2. Does the stain settle out over time? If so, does heating and remixing always work?
Hope that's clear!
Any experiences appreciated!
