Liquitex Acrylic Fabric Medium enhances the workability of acrylic paint on fabric. It is lightweight, non toxic and dries to a water resistant, non yellowing surface. Can be mixed with Liquitex acrylic paint colours and medium. Can be added directly to textile when paint is still wet to blend colour and does not require heat setting and can be machine or hand-washed once dry.
- Improves adhesion and colour penetration
- Improves flexibility and reduces dry paint stiffness
- Controls colour bleeding
- Lowers viscosity of heavier body paints, giving increased flow
- Gives a consistently even, smooth application
- Improves wet-on-wet blending
- Extends your colour further without affecting acrylic stability
- Maintains paint adhesion, durability and archival quality
How to use it:
- For best results mix in a 1:1 ratio with Soft Body Acrylic, add more if using Heavy Body to get your desired consistency
- For watercolour effects use 5 parts medium to 1 part Soft Body
- Stir gently to avoid creating foam – if bubbles appear, leave it to sit while the bubbles rise and disappear
- Paint on with brush, roller etc, using a thin layer to avoid cracking
- No need to iron to set
How not to use it:
- Do not shake or vigorously over-brush as this can result in a foggy, hazy look when dry
- Do not use with any non-acrylic media
- The thicker you apply it, the less flexible it becomes
