What to do if your banner gets bled on.

Duke Eduard had someone's banner bleed on his and left some dye on it. Apparently they were able to get a lot of the foreign dye out by probably handwashing it gently with synthrapol detergent. Synthrapol is an industrial detergent that is used as a pre wash to remove stuff from fabric before dying and also to help keep dyes color fast after they are set. You can get it from Dharma Trading Company that I know of for sure but I'm sure it's available other places too. I've never had this happen to one of my banners, but as I've stated before letting a banner rest on a pourous damo surface, like another banner or pavilion roof can cause dye to be leeched out so it's possible a banner could get bled on by another banner that way. Just another little problem I've never encountered like the lamp oil thing.

Edit- This works pretty well to remove un-set dye. I've used some watered down synthrapol to fix spots that have bled over into another color or dripped into an unintended spot.

Lamp oil

Lamp oil will apparently dissolve the rubber based gutta. I'm not sure whether it would do the same thing to the water based stuff I decided to give a try recently but I guess the best rule would be to store your banner in a ziplock bag (dry of course) to keep it from getting gunk from camping on it.

Edit- I rarely use the rubber based gutta anymore, but still something to watch out for. I switched to the water based resist for anything with a black outline but I still use the clear gutta for black charges.
