If I remember right, you use vinegar instead of soda ash, acid dyes, and steam when it's done to set the dye. Dharma should give you the proportions. Your piece is gorgeous, Terry.

It is made of one color molecule and will not split. You might get light and dark versions of the colors, but not the multi colors. Lynda Heinea has a cheap online Ice Dyeing class with a PDF of all colors and how they split. Also: don't need to really heat up the soda ash. Warm tap water in a gallon milk jug and shake to mix is fine. Good luck and nice post.

If the fabric was in the water the dyes would melt all together and you would probably get mud. I have also used an old 'baby gate'.
