JacquardDischarge Paste 8 Oz

This color remover works really well! I like that you can wash it off if you don't like the placement of the paste. A little bit goes a long way so I expect this jar to last a long time for me. It's super easy to use and great for stenciling. The only con is that it stinks, but every color remover I have used also smells so that's expected. Overall pleased with this!

I love the consistency of the product and the control I have over where it goes and how bleached the fabric is. A lighter coating provided the reddish shade for a freehand experiment and a thicker coating made it easy to add vibrant color to my stencil tie dyes. Will be using this regularly.

Worked exactly as I needed. Smells like a flaming egg fart, but it's worth it for the beautiful results.

Works as advertised. Some pigments lift easier than others. Smells awful. Wear a respirator when using this product.

This works perfectly if you know what you're doing with stencils and the type of fabric. I used mine on silk velvet and it worked like a charm. The key is put enough on with a soft but springy brush and then let it soak in for a few hours if not overnight. I ironed mine touching the back of the fabric with copious amounts of steam and all the color came out. At first the discharged areas are yellowish or uneven yellow/white tones but in a few days later they clear up on their own and turn white . Im VERY pleased with this and would not have been able to complete my project to such a high degree of professionalism and detail without it.

Smells horrible, similar to hair remover. Smell gets really strong when heated and made nose burn even while using next to open window. Product will be go beyond area you wish to remove color from as dry untreated fabric seems to pull it. I used a vinyl stencil that was strongly adhered but the color spread from the underside and created a shadow around the treated area. You have to make sure it's completely dry before ironing so you cannot dictate the amount of color you want to remove. I was hoping for a vintage look but it took a long time for solution to dry and turned red t shirt blotchy yellow where applied. If you buy make sure you test on fabric first and use outside or wear a mask. I had high hopes for this product with many project ideas in mind but it left me disappointed with a ruined shirt. It is not a paste, it is milky and runny.

This is a great product. You can take a little or a lot of dye out depending on how heavy you apply and much safer than bleach.

My expectations were low for this product but it (almost) did the job. I started with a new long sleeve knit tee shirt with a white silkscreened print on each side. The shirt looked too “new” so i wanted to try some reverse dying/bleaching. I started by pouring a half gallon of bleach straight onto the shirt to remove all the color. Of course i ended up with blotchy, copper red result. To even out my bad bleach technique, i wet the shirt in water, made a hot bath w 1 gal of bleach (excessive perhaps but i wanted fast, potent results). I left the shirt in the bath overnight and was happy to see the blotches had evened out to a consistent copper red tone. The shirt turned red bc red is the base tone used in the fabric. I wanted the end result to look like a black shirt that had been worn for 50 years (the print design was a throwback to the US moon landing so i wanted it to look believable). I planned to overdye the shirt with blue RIT to counter the copper tones but changed my mind after discovering DeColorant. When it arrived I realized there wasnt enough product to deeply saturate the shirt so i had to dilute it very slightly with cold water. I worked the mix into the fabric, ensuring it was evenly distributed. I then laid the shirt outside to dry overnight. I HIGHLY recommend working outdoors, wearing gloves and a mask bc the chemicals I used are extremely caustic, staining and stink. The DeColorant just stinks, however.The next day, i laid out a canvas drop cloth, set my iron on High and slowly ironed the shirt in sections until i achieved the level of “color lift” i wanted (maximum lift in my case took on a faded lemon yellow color, not white). What i liked about this process was the ability to control how much lift you want by how long and hard you press the iron into the fabric. Perfect for someone looking for a vintage effect. While the shirt was still not white, the yellow was a good base for the next step. I made a hot RIT dye bath with black dye (i know, it sounds counterproductive). I submerged the shirt, ensuring even distribution and removed it after 1-2 minutes in the bath, waiting until i achieved the level of “faded black” i wanted. Im about to wash the shirt now and will post photos after.I ended up requesting a refund for the DeColorant bc the seller did not create a full description here nor did they post clear photos of the entire product label which state that not all colors can be removed. It’s expensive and not for every project, but it may be great for yours.
