Do not allow the iron to make contact with the paint. Some synthetic fabrics are non-absorbent and thus not suited for paint application. It is possible to thin the paint with water and achieve stain effects or delicate watercolour brushouts. Test your fabric choice beforehand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAlthough white in colour, this product will not alter the paint colour when blended in the correct ratios. Drying time is approximately 2- 5 hours, depending upon weather conditions and the thickness of application. Avoid the use of heavy layers and thick textures, as these may crack or peel over time. Do not allow to freeze.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHeat Fix Times \u0026amp; Temperatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePlease note heat fixing times and temperatures are subject to vary depending on the accuracy of the settings in the appliance to be used. \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe following is a guide only:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-rte-list=\"default\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCotton, calico, linen, rayon 4-5 minutes at 140°C - 180°C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSynthetics, nylon, polyester, tetron, acrylic 5-8 minutes at 115°C - 130°C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e[space height=\"5\"] It is important to remember that valuable projects always warrant a test. Heat fixing tests should always be done on the fabric to determine temperature and time required to make the image fast (permanent) but without scorching the particular fabric. Test by heat fixing a trial strip and washing on a heavy duty cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MATISSE MEDIUMS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41456810197163,"sku":"9310097538555","price":20.74,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/6319\/9403\/files\/matisse-mm13-fabric-fixative-250ml-matisse-mediums-matisse-56553724281119.jpg?v=1746768955","url":"https:\/\/artist-brushes.myshopify.com\/products\/matisse-mm13-fabric-fixative-250ml","provider":"Art Supplies Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
