It's not the saltwater it's most likely the dye job. Remember to use clean materials and to wet them before you put them into the dye bath. I use a heavy amount of vinegar. It makes the colors more vibrant and sets it well. I have some friends that even use 1/2 vinegar 1/2 water. Everyone does it a little different but that has worked great for me. Regards, Deb

Does saltwater make dyes run however much vinegar put in? and how do I prevent it? I have materials dyed both by myself and commercially and the dye is OK in freshwater but it runs in saltwater.
