Pébéo Setacolor Opaque fabric paint 1 litre, white or black

One litre of matt, opaque fabric paint

Work on larger motifs, repeated prints or a series of fabric projects with this water-based Setacolor Opaque. You receive one 1 litre bottle in white or black. Both are matt, opaque colours that mix with Setacolor Opaque. This is not a two-colour set; fabric, brush and stencil are not included.

Choose white for light areas and patterns on dark fabric, or black for lettering, outlines and dark areas. Use colour numbers 10 and 19 to find the same version again. These are matt colours, without pearl, shimmer or suede effects.

• 10 - White
• 19 - Black

Prepare and apply

Apply to prewashed fabric such as cotton, jersey or polyester, provided it tolerates the required heat fixing. Stir before use and dispense a small amount into a separate pot for repeated work. The paint is ready for brushes, stamps, stencils and screen printing. Diluting with water gives a more translucent watercolour effect; do not expect the same coverage on dark fabric.

Sample coverage and fabric feel

Make two equal sample areas on a scrap of the actual fabric. Compare one thin coat with a second thin coat on the other fully dry area. Record colour, number of coats and any dilution. Fix and wash as instructed, then compare coverage, edges and flexibility before printing a whole batch.

Fixing and washing

The paint air-dries in about an hour; thick coats or different conditions may take longer. Let it dry completely, then iron the reverse of the decorated fabric for five minutes on the cotton setting, without steam. Use only fabric that tolerates this treatment. After fixing, hand or machine washing up to 40 °C is possible within the fabric’s care limits. Dry cleaning is not recommended.

Safe use

Both colours contain MIT and CMIT/MIT; white also contains BIT. May produce an allergic reaction. Avoid skin contact, keep paint out of children’s reach and follow the label. Wash hands after use, protect paint from frost and heat and dispose of residue and packaging under local rules.
