- Thanks to the assitance of my wife, Susan Miller, I believe I
- can provide an ECO for the T-Shirt problem.
-
- To eliminate the problem of running, soak the T-Shirt in a solution
- of 1/2 cup of Vinegar mixed with 1 Gallon (US) of cold water for 30 minutes.
- Then use the washing machine. However, wash the T-Shirt in warm, not hot
- water.
-
- To eliminate the problem with the red portions that have already
- run, use a 50/50 mixture of water and bleach (or bleach and water) in
- a squirt bottle and soak the afflicted areas for five minutes then use
- the washing machine.
-
- Unfortunately, this ECO cannot be retrofitted into a VMSINSTAL kit.
