MARABU VELVET TOUCH

This paint has been specially developed for silk fabrics to give a unique and incredibly soft velvety feel. Marabu Velvet Touch is a water based, opaque velvet effect paint and is suitable for light and dark-coloured silk fabrics. The impression of a Dévoré look can be produced without requiring a lot of time. In combination with Marabu Stencils, beautiful creations can be achieved. The range of colours has almost universal application and co-ordinates perfectly with any Marabu Silk shade. Working with toning colours can be just as attractive as working with strong contrasts. Stencilling, free painting and printing are easy to do with Marabu Velvet Touch.
Here’s how it’s done:
Marabu Velvet Touch can be applied on dry silk painted with Marabu Silk and on untreated silk fabrics.
Use in combination with Marabu Silk:
Paint Marabu Silk on the silk as desired or prime the whole area of the silk fabric. After drying, Marabu Velvet Touch can be applied in different techniques. Afterwards allow to dry thoroughly and fix at the same time as Marabu Silk following the instructions.
Fixing:
Marabu Velvet Touch is fixed by ironing or in the oven after drying (approx. 6 hours). Your design can even be fixed in one single process when you also use Marabu Silk or Marabu Contours & Effects besides Marabu Velvet Touch.
Set the iron to cotton temperature and iron for 2-3 min. from reverse side (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.
Marabu Velvet Touch is wash and dry-clean resistant after fixing. Clean brushes and other equipment with water immediately after use. Stir and lightly shake before use. Available in 7 colours in a 100ml pot. Price per pot.
