Description

Matisse Acrylic Medium MM13 – Fabric Fixative 250ml. Fabric Fixative is an acrylic medium designed to be mixed with acrylic paints to optimise their use on fabrics. With MM13 Fabric Fixative mixed with Matisse Colours, preferably Flow Formula, you can create permanent designs on T-shirts or most other garments without investing in a whole range of fabric paints. Matisse acrylic can be applied to most fabrics without any mediums. However, MM13 Fabric Fixative ensures that the painted image withstands water, detergents, and regular machine washing. Mix one part Fabric Fixative to two parts Matisse Flow Formula Acrylic, then paint and let dry. You’ll then heat-set with an iron, ensuring it doesn’t directly contact the paint (a tea towel over the painted area works great) to become wash-fast. Drying time is approximately 2-5 hours, depending on thickness and weather. Heat Fix Times & Temperatures: Cotton, calico, linen, rayon: 4-5 minutes at 140C – 180C
Synthetics, nylon, polyester, tetron, acrylic: 5-8 minutes at 115C – 130C
Always test to ensure the image is fast (permanent) without scorching the fabric.
