SolarFast by Jacquard

$10.00$25.00

SolarFast Dyes only develop colour and become permanent upon exposure to sunlight (UV).  This unique property means SolarFast may be used to create remarkably detailed photographs, photograms and shadow-prints on paper or fabric by harnessingthe power of the sun! Anything you place on the painted surface to block the light will cretae a printed impression in a matter of minutes, whether a solid object (toys, tools, plants, lace, etc.) a photographic negative (an image digitally printed onto a transparency) or shadow (from folds in the fabric or a 3D object).

SolarFast dyes are also great for painting, tie dyeing, screen printing, stamping, batik and more – no heat setting, chemical or steam fixing necessary.  The dye leaves fabric completely soft to the touch.  On paper, it has zero relief and will  not affect the texture of the surface whatsoever, making it a powerful tool for mixed-media artists.

Instructions:

Apply SolarFast to fabric or paper using a brush, sponge or brayer.
While still damp, expose the design to sunlight and watch the colour magically appear!
Place objects on coated substrate to block development during exposure.
Any object that casts a shadow will create a pattern.
Use a film negative to create permanent photographs on paper or fabric.
After exposure, wash out undeveloped dye with SolarFast Wash and hot water,
agitating vigorously.
Machine washing is recommended for textiles.
Colour development is not complete until after washing.
SolarFast thins and cleans up with water.
For screen printing applications, use SolarFast Thickener.
8oz is 236ml and 4oz is 118ml
