Introduction

This video introduces the following videos on making a 2 gallon synthetic vat with 60 % indigo grains, a natural vat with ground indigo from Tamil Nadu, India, and a tint vat. All are reduced using Thiourea dioxide.[/vc_column_text][vc_video link=”https://vimeo.com/449025079″ css=”.vc_custom_1599556950532{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1599556958030{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;}”]

Making Indigo Vats

The three 2 gallon vats are made. It is important that ingredients are added in this order. 1. Caustic soda, 2. Thiourea dioxide, 3. Indigo.

HEALTH AND SAFETY. Hand hot water is around 46 – 48⁰, 55⁰ is very hot water. As a test, it is hand hot but unsustainably so. Wear masks and gloves when making the vat.[/vc_column_text][vc_video link=”https://vimeo.com/457406860″ css=”.vc_custom_1600013041748{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1599557028343{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;}”]
