 ====== Odd-ball notes ======
+===== Polyester Dye =====
+  * need to keep the fabric off the bottom of the pan, flat spots may have formed (found a small grate that will work for this)
+  * need to weigh the fabric down so steam bubbles don't form lifting the fabric out of the dye (have a basket with weights that will work)
+  * need to be above 100C for an extended period, ~45 minutes minimum
+  * streaking seems to be limited to one side- turning cushion forms inside out might give a better result
+  * first batch was small cushion, 50ml dye to 2L water, hue looks good aside from the streaking, trying a machine wash to see if the streaks go away
+  * 2nd go on the first cushion added 4L water but no dye, turned cushion inside out, basket to keep fabric off the bottom in place, weighted basket above in place, started cold at 10:10, reduced heat to 7 at 11 & stirred/shifted- lid should not seal perfectly- that seems to stop steam bubbles from forming- also open and close vent periodically to prevent auto-shut-off from happening
+  * ended...
