Product Use:

Setasilk paints are ready to use and work on all types of silk: satin weave, chiffon, crêpe de Chine, georgette, pongé, damask, and more. Once painting is complete, simply fix the design by ironing the reverse side. Setasilk is compatible with all silk painting methods, including outlining, salt technique, wet-on-wet or dry watercolor, wax cracking, batik, marbling, and others. After painting, the silk remains soft and flexible without stiffness. The paint colors are rich, refined, and the palette is exceptionally vibrant.
