Is this a hand or machine dye?

It's actually both, however I only tried it with it in a hot bucket of water.

Does it work on Polyester?

No it does not work on polyester. I wasted time trying!

Would this work on canvas shoes ?

Can't say for sure, but I can't see why not. It's a brilliant product and really does cover. I should think it would be fine.

Would this work on a small bleach spot on a back hoodie?

If there is any synthetic fibres (Acrylic, Nylon, Elastane etc) in teh fabric, then the answer is no. Even if the day does take, you will almost certainly get differential colouring. It is designed for dying complete garments, and from my experience it does not do that very well. You may want to simply use a black marker pen on the spot, you will have to do it again every time the hoodie comes out of the wash, but hey ho, its worked for me in the past with bleach spots. This stuff is rubbish, I bought two packs but only used one as it is garbage, I should have stuck with Dylon
