Alum Instructions

Customer Service & Information Page

GENERAL INFORMATION AND USE

Alum is used in the fabric marbling process as a pre-mordant to make marbling paints "stick", and is also used as one of the safer chemicals to pre-mordant fabric in preparation for natural dyeing.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

Dissolve 2 teaspoons alum into 1 gallon of water to make a solution for fabric to be marbled. Dissolve 2 teaspoons alum in 1 quart of water to make a solution for paper to be marbled.

ADDITIONAL USES:

Also used in natural dyeing.

DHARMA COMMENTS:

ALERT: Be careful not to leave on the fabric too long or get hot as that combination can really damage the fabric.
