Setacolor Opaque colours can be used on all prewashed fabrics: cotton, wool, mesh, jersey, velvet, jacquard knit, polyester, mixed fibers, and even leather.

They can be used pure or diluted with water to obtain a watercolor effect. Their rich texture is particularly indicated for various textile decorating techniques: with a paint brush, dropper, stamp, silkscreen painting stencil...

When used with Setacolor auxiliaries additional effects can be obtained to multiply the techniques.

For airbrush use, make a first mixture 50% water / 50% Setacolor lightening medium (ref 391014) which will serve as a dilution base. Then, make a second mixture with the chosen colour, 50% Setacolor Opaque paint / 50% of the first mixture for airbrushing.

To fix the Setacolor colours, iron the reverse side of the decorated fabric for 5 minutes on cotton position with no steam. It is also possible to put the fabrics in the kitchen oven. After 5 minutes at 150°C (300°F) the colours are fixed. Once fixed, the colours resist machine washing.
