yeah.. this one (see the picture) shows that it's pretty clearly supposed to be formulated for synthetics.

Looking for ways to dye things like sun sleeves, skullcaps, baselayers (items like below). The dyes come in all sorts of colors, but I'd probably go neutral grayish/black or whatever this 'graphite' thing yields. Really was just looking for someone to say they've done this without issue with their cycling clothing.
