How to protect this print?
Hi all, I bought this hoodie the other day because I love the print, but the colour is kind of a washed black/charcoal where I would prefer a deep black (it's even lighter in person than the photo). So I intend to dye it darker.
The issue comes from the print on the back, which I don't want to stain. I've already got some Dylon sachet dyes in Intense Black on hand.
I was thinking of trying to protect the print by covering it in a layer of white Elmer's school glue, which is washable. The internet tells me to apply to the dry print, then the glue needs to dry for 24 hours to become fully cured. The hoodie then needs to be damp for the dyeing process so google recommends using a spray bottle to wet it rather than the washing machine (so the glue doesn't come off).
Any tips or advice before I risk it all?
The material is 360gsm 80% cotton and 20% polyester. The print is "puff print" if that helps.
