Good starter kit for Solarfast
This kit is geared toward small projects and just getting a feel for Solarfast. They give you quite a small amount of three colors of dye, which will do fine if you are making wall art or, as in the shown example, blocking out a small section on the front of a t-shirt.I didn't want to do that, I wanted to dye the whole shirt. I had to use the entirety of all three bottles and thin it with 1 part water / 3 parts dye. I blocked the sunlight with paperboard cutouts and dried leaves that I had prepared beforehand. Planning, preparation, and quick action are necessary for success.Product is colorfast as advertised. I sent it through the laundry twice, once with the provided Solarfast detergent and once with regular detergent. There was no loss of color, nor any blurring.All in all this is a great product. The best idea is to use this kit to get a feel for it, then switch to buying larger amounts of the dye in bulk. I do a lot of tie-dye related projects and it's very rare for anything to come out exactly as I wanted/expected, but Solarfast did. Will definitely be doing more in the future.

Easy to understand and use
I really enjoy this kit, I have wanted to sun print for a really long time and this kit helped me so much! The kit came with 3 colors and some other tools, a simple YouTube video from the company helped me understand what to do and just like that I was printing designs! This kit is very much worth the price! Overall a great product

Strong pigment
The solution is pretty powerful and fast acting on a sunny day. I think you get a pretty good value, although I do wish there were more pieces of film (they only give you 3). The trick to making shirts with this stuff is to make sure the film is FLAT against the tshirt. Not even a millimeter sticking up anywhere. Otherwise you get some condensation that blocks sun as well as a less crisp image because the light has already started to bleed underneath the film. It takes a few tries to really get it right. Buy a piece of glass to put on top, or you can use the glass from a picture frame or something.

Great starter kit.
I liked this kit as a starting point for getting into sun printing. I wouldn't dilute the ink as some might suggest, as it really weakens the color. It's hard to get the hang of, but it's definitely fun to play around with, and I like the colors it came with.

Works great
The kit works great. I wish the kit came with more paper to make more prints but you can reuse the paper for multiple shirts so it’s totally fine for me. Especially great for getting started with solar print making.

Perfect kit to get you started or to try!
Awesome product! Carefully read instructions and check out their FAQ/Troubleshooting on website before starting. If you do that, it’ll be a breeze and you’ll have a great product or craft at the end!

didn’t work for me
Box not only came damaged everything including the film were all bent. Tried doing it anyways for the first try the lines from the backboard were showed up over the print. Second try there was bug white spots all over. Followed instructions directly and also watched videos and still the printing was not working!!
