what you need:
- a black tank
- gloves
- bleach
- a bucket
- a small plastic bottle
- something to protect your working area
what you do:
- put on your gloves to protect your hands from the bleach
- fill your bucket with a mixture of about 2/3 water and 1/3 bleach
- choose a few parts (in my case 3) of your tank you do not want to bleach
- pick them up and dunk the rest of the tank into the mixture
- let that react for a short while, just until you see slight changes in the color of the tank and the bleach-mixture
- lay the tank out flat
- dip your fingers into the mixture and smear around on your shirt
- you can also dip them into the pure bleach and create some splashes (we did the same in my previous bleached shirt post)
- let that sink in for a couple more minutes; then wash and dry your tank
- the next step works best outside in the sun, so take your tank outside and lay it out flat again
- fill some pure bleach into a small plastic bottle, put your thumb on its mouth and shake it, creating small splashes on your tank
- instead of using the bottle, you can again just dip your fingers into the bleach and flick them
- since you're doing this step outside in sunlight, the bleach reacts way more strongly than inside which results in splashes that are a lot lighter
- wash and dry that whole thing again and you're good to go!
the products I used:
Eau de Javel (bleach) from my local drugstore; you usually get bleach in the detergent-section
