Thickened dye for painting

Hello! I have a few shirts I want to touch up with the help of decolourant and thickened dye.

I don't need much dye at all, the spots are tiny hearts on cat butts that didn't turn out great. Tying off those little dudes is hard! I used decolourant to outline the hearts and ofc that didn't satisfy me.

Since it's just a little bit of dye, should I just add some alginate to it?

Thanks!

Following. I’ve tried to paint with thickened dye the last 2 shirts and am having issues batching. The last was soaked is SA 1 hour painted on batched in freezer bag 48!hrs at 70 degrees rinsed with cold water until clear . Dried , sealed , and tie dyed . On that washout all of the details work rinsed off my painting!?
