I recently bought some Antron Fleece and am excited on putting it to use. However I'm concerned mainly about dying the fabric.

I'm aware that many people use RIT dyes but what other kinds are recomendable? I wanted to die some of them fluorescent colors so I may also use them for blacklight but don't want to risk messing up the fabric.

Any and all suggestions help!

It's always a good idea to do a test on a small piece of fabric first, every time you die. Many people seem to find Aljo dye best (that's been my experience too), but RIT works too.

i haven't tried out blacklight-colors but be sure to use dye for synthetic fabric. I accidently used lime-green for natural fabric (such as cotton) and ended up with a very pale light-blue color. Ofcourse that shade is also very useful, but not for the charachter i was going to do, so i had to come up with a paler charachter :-D
