This opaque, water-based textile paint is designed for crafters looking to add a unique pearlescent and metallic sheen to their fabric projects. Its key benefit is the ability to create vibrant, shimmering mother-of-pearl effects on both light and dark textiles, offering excellent coverage. A potential caveat is the need for heat-fixing to ensure durability and washability.

This paint works best on natural fibers like cotton and linen. It can also be used on some synthetic blends, but it's recommended to test on a small area first.
To make the paint permanent and washable, it needs to be heat-fixed. After the paint has dried completely, place baking paper over the painted area and iron it with a hot iron (no steam) for 2-5 minutes.
Yes, this is an opaque paint and offers excellent coverage on both light and dark colored textiles.
You can apply the paint with a brush, foam roller, stamp, or stencil. This allows for a variety of techniques, from freehand designs to applying patterns.
This is a water-based textile paint. Ensure good ventilation when working and follow standard crafting safety practices. Always test heat-fixing on a scrap piece first.
Drying time varies depending on the thickness of application and environmental conditions, but it typically takes several hours for the paint to be completely dry to the touch before heat-fixing.
Use a hot iron setting (typically cotton setting) without steam. Press for 2-5 minutes per section. Always use baking paper as a protective layer.
Ensure the paint is well-mixed. If still too thick, a tiny amount of water can be added, but mix thoroughly. Use appropriate application tools like a brush or roller for smoother application.
Always insert a protective layer (like plastic or cardboard) inside the textile before painting to prevent bleed-through.
Ensure the paint is applied opaquely and evenly. The pearlescent pigments are designed to show on dark fabrics; multiple thin coats might be needed if the first application is too thin.
Confirm that the paint was properly heat-fixed with an iron after drying, following the recommended time and temperature. Inadequate heat-setting is the most common reason for paint not adhering permanently.
