Diluted with water, they can be used for the sunprint technique, using two parts water to one part paint.
In this technique, a piece of fabric is painted with this mixture, after which certain areas are covered with objects or plants and exposed to the sun.
After drying, the areas hidden from the sun will be lighter.
Brushes and other tools are easy to clean with warm water.
To fix the Setacolor colours, iron the back of the decorated fabric for 5 minutes on the “cotton” setting without steam.
After fixing, the colors can be machine washed, but dry cleaning is not recommended.
Setacolor is also available in glitter, shimmering, pearl and suede effect colours.
