  2. Cover work surface with plastic tablecloth or trash bags and lay damp tee out flat on surface. Smooth out tee to remove any wrinkles.

Wearing rubber gloves, add water to Fuchsia dye bottle to line indicated.  Replace cap tightly and shake until dye is dissolved.  Pour out half to two-thrids of the dye in bottle into another container, leaving a one-third to half of the Fuchsia at bottom. Fill bottle back up with water, diluting Fuchsia to a Light Pink.
