Description
This is a summary of the information contained in the Acrylicos Vallejo Textile Paint - Metallic Violet Pearl 60ML product page. The paint is best used on natural fabrics such as cotton or linen, but can also be used on synthetic fabrics. If the fabric contains starch, it should be washed before painting. The paint can be applied with brushes, sponges, rollers, and spatulas, and is creamy in consistency. The paint is available in a variety of shades, with the exception of phosphorescent (Glow in the Dark), which can only be mixed with other shades. The paint can be layered, but is not recommended because it can overload the fabric. The paint can be cleaned with water and soap, and dried with alcohol. The paint is not hazardous to users' health or the environment.
Best results are obtained on cloth made of natural fibres such as cotton or linen, but excellent results can also be achieved on synthetic fabrics. However, due to the different properties of synthetic fibres, it is best to start with paint and wash tests. If the fabric contains starch, it should be washed before painting.
To avoid painted fabric sticking to support, use cardboard or absorbent paper underneath; remove immediately after painting so that it will not stick to the fabric
Colours can be applied with brush, sponge, roller, spatula (for airbrushing dilute with Textile Medium); their creamy consistency is especially suitable for use with stencils, silk-screens and mono- print techniques.
All shades except Phosphorescent (Glow in the Dark) can be mixed with one another and with Glitter. Adding Textile Medium to the colours reduces viscosity and renders colours more transparent. Layering colours is not recommended, because overloading the fabric may interfere with proper bonding to fabric. Brushes and other tools are cleaned with water and soap. Dried paint can be removed with alcohol. Stains of Textile Colour are difficult to remove if not washed immediately before drying; the colour is formulated for permanence even without ironing. Textile colour is not hazardous to users' health or to the environment.
