TIE-DYE
Essentials
SINEW & SINEW PULLER
Sinew & Sinew Puller: Essential for those tight, white honeycomb lines; the puller saves your hands while getting ties extra tight.
This is a total non-negotiable for vibrant, permanent colors. We buy the 50lb bucket because it is much more cost-effective—it saves us about $100 compared to buying smaller 10lb bags.

Pro Tip: To make your supplies last, you can reuse your soda ash solution! I keep a lid on my solution when I’m finished using it and continue to reuse it until the water becomes super dingy-looking. This saves time, money, and water.
BLEACH
I use a 50/50 mix of Low Splash Bleach (for control) and Regular Disinfectant Bleach (for stripping power).
We use these (or any other item we have on hand to use) to lift projects so the snow/ice melt can drain properly without getting "mucky."
These are my favorite multi-use studio hack! They work perfectly as "drip catchers" or forms to help hold the shape of the garment during the melt.
Professional's choice for deep-lasting colors.
SCREEN-PRINTING
Tools
SCREEN-PRINTING INK
SQUEEGES
Used for pushing ink through the mesh to get that perfect, even print.
SCREENS & EMULSION
The foundation of every Gods N Gladiators design.
CLEANING & FINISHING
Must Haves
My secret weapon. It suspends loose dye so it doesn't stain the light parts of your design during the wash. I use it for every single SQRL Style rework.
The final step for every piece. This is how I get those cargoes looking crisp and "store-ready" for the website.
