The Silkpaint! company has specialized in this resist for silk for 30 years, and it shows. It has a lot of uses and advantages:
Paint silk while resist is still wet!
Add dyes to make colored resists.
Use as a stop-flow when thinned with 1 part resist and 3 parts water.
Steam-able, or can be used with iron-set silk paints.
Remove with cool water!
No fumes, non-toxic!
Silkpaint Resist is designed for silk fabric.
For a water based resist, this one holds the lines well for silk thicknesses up to 16mm. The formula has been recently adjusted to wash out easily from the silk. This one is nice because you can get it in quarts too.
Note: This resist is steam-able and formulated for acid-based pH dyes (‘French-type’ dyes, or other
acid-recipe pH dyes). If the resist is subjected to fixatives that are alkaline in pH, or the prolonged high
heat steam-setting of alkaline-recipe/alkaline pH dyes, it changes the acid pH composition of the resist
and can make it stick to the silk and hard to wash out. The best thing you can do at this point is rinse in
a bath of white vinegar (so it returns the Silkpaint resist to its original acid pH) and GENTLY brush with
a SOFT toothbrush over the lines. Water-based resist washes out easily when used with both iron set paints and steam set silk dyes.
