Marabu : Silk Paint

Intense colors, brilliant, very good flow properties – this water based iron fixed silk paint is suitable for school, hobby, leisure use and art and craft. It has a very good light fastness and can be thinned with water. Marabu-Silk is ideal for painting on all types of silk and thin cotton fabrics. Marabu-Silk is wash- and dry-clean-resistant after fixing.

The vibrant colors of Marabu-Silk are divided into color-shade groups, which make it easy to achieve elegant combinations in toning colors for attractive creations. Completely new creative possibilities for silk painting are offered with the matching shades of Marabu-Velvet Touch and Marabu-Contours & Effects, the new stretching technique with Marabu-Silk Easy Fix,
Marabu-Stencils and Marabu-Design Stamps.
The soft Marabu-Fino and Marabu-Universal synthetic brushes are ideal for free painting and painting outlines.

Here’s how it’s done:
Marabu-Silk is fixed by ironing or in the oven after drying. Your design can even be fixed in one single process when you also use Marabu-Contours & Effects and/or Marabu-Velvet Touch besides Marabu-Silk.

Fixing:
Set the iron to cotton temperature and iron for 2-3 min. from reverse side or baking paper (30 x 30 cm per area), through a thin cotton cloth, by constantly moving the iron.

or: The silk is fixed for approx. 8 min. at 150°C in a pre-heated oven. We recommend laying the silk onto baking paper to avoid unwelcome scorches. This fixing method is not suitable for large silks.

Clean brushes and other equipment with water immediately after use. Stir and lightly shake before use.
