DIRECTIONS
1. For best results use only high quality flowers that
have been dry-stored in the cooler. Flowers kept in water before
dyeing will absorb dye slower.
2. MIX THOROUGHLY 2-3 teaspoons of ABSORBIT per quart of warm (100-110
°F) water. (8-12 teaspoons / gallon)
3. Strip lower foliage and RECUT stems.
4. Place stems in dye solution for 30-60 minutes. Long stemmed flowers
should be taken from dye solution at the first sign of color above the
calyx.
5. Remove flowers and rinse dye from bottom of stems.
6. Transfer flowers to water with flower food.
The flower color will continue to intensify as the remaining dye within
the stems travels upward.
NOTES
• Suggest using latex gloves while dyeing to protect
hands from staining.
• Slightly stressed flowers will absorb the dye quicker. It is best to
use dry-packed flowers. If flowers have already been hydrated set
them out of water for about 3-6 hours before dyeing.
• Not all flowers will absorb the color in the same amount of time.
Carnations are very quick to dye while woody-type stems like roses will
take longer.
• Roses sometime will have difficulty achieving even coloration. Keep
the temperature of the dye mixture at 100-110°F/40°C during dyeing
period. This can be done by inserting bucket into a water filled crock
pot or on a heat table. If blossom appears spotty after dyeing time
transfer to a bucket of warm water and allow hydrating
further…overnight to a day.
• Do not increase concentration of dye. Formulation includes a wetting
agent that is pre-calibrated. Increasing the wetting agent will
actually deter the uptake rather than its prescribed enhancement.
• The 4 oz can of Absorbit contains 22 teaspoons to make 11 quarts of
formula.
DISPOSAL
Absorbit dyes are a powder that mixes with water. The
solution is absorbed systemically (up the stem) and into the flower
petals. When customers are done dying flowers they often will simply
pour the remaining solution down the drain. The solution is nontoxic
and may be disposed of this way. However, the strong color of the dye
may cause some concern further down the water treatment system. The
disposal method we recommend for leftover dye solution is that they
absorb it into a material like sawdust, wood chips or newspaper. These
may simply be disposed of in their normal trash. |
