Step 3Soak the Shirts
So now we're going to soak your fabrics in urea to add fixer.
First, get some tub that's large enough to hold your fabrics and water. A sawed-off 5 gallon bottle worked well for me.
Now, add enough warm water to allow you to submerge your shirts.
Now, add the urea. Again, this is kind of qualitative, but the stronger your urea concentration, the better your dye will stick. For a few t-shirts, usually a couple handfuls of urea is fine--try to put in as much as you can dissolve.
Now, stick your shirts into this, get them nice and soaked, and let them stew for five minutes or so
