Why is UV Hot Pink hard to find?

[Abbeytoo]

I was looking for something more sturdy than tshirt material, like duck cloth. I found some fl. yellow dye. No other color of fluorescent or neon dye, tho. pic is with and without blacklight. Yellow is the dyed fabric and the others are some spray fabric paint which stiffens the fabric considerably - not what I want.

odd how the orange turns pink and the pink turns purple-ish. I think. ( Since there is no editing of posts allowed I may have to make lots of posts. Skylighter . )

I think the color shift you are seeing under the BL is due to the white fibers picking up the UV bluing part of the dye. It is very noticeable in the orange sample on the rt side where the fabric is frayed. Are you using 100% or 50/50 cotton?

It's 100% cotton. I washed it 2 times in hot water at a laundry mat where they have super hot water, and once at my house where water isn't so hot, before dying or painting.

As for the shirts, THEY DO GLOW under black light! and I can put a one color print on them and still beat that price! However sizes and colors are becoming limited as the summer stock is depleted. I do not know when they will be making/receiving replenishment stock. PM or email me if you need specific quotes.

I placed an order with them yesterday (Monday) and it was delivered to my house today (Tuesday)! That is warp speed shipping!
