Pébéo Setacolor fabric mediums and glue, 45 ml

Lighten Setacolor colours, attach a fabric appliqué or add a raised motif. You receive one 45 ml jar of your chosen type, not a set of three. Each auxiliary has a different purpose and method. Use on suitable prewashed fabric and test on the same textile first; also check that it tolerates the required ironing temperature.

• Lightening medium: mix with Setacolor colours for lighter shades without thinning the paint. Opacity decreases slightly. Useful for subtle colour changes within a motif.
• Permanent fabric glue: for fabric joins such as hems and appliqués, or attaching painted fabric to wood and cardboard. It can also be used with Setacolor glitter.
• Expandable relief paste: for matt, raised decoration. Mix with Setacolor for pastel shades, or use neat and colour after drying for brighter colours. Heat creates the relief.

Apply and heat-set

Apply the lightening medium mixed into paint with a brush, sponge or stencil; use a brush, for example, for the glue. Allow to dry, then fix these two types from the reverse for 5 minutes with an iron on the cotton setting, without steam. Apply the relief paste with a brush or palette knife. Dry for 30 minutes, place the work on a padded cloth and iron from the reverse on silk/wool; the relief appears in about 15 seconds. Protect thin fabric against strike-through with baking parchment or thicker fabric. Follow the paint instructions for any added colour too. Drawing pencils, paint, fabric and tools are needed separately.

Wash and clean

Wait 48 hours after fixing before washing, at up to 40 °C within the fabric’s care instructions; wash relief work gently. Clean tools with soap and water. Protect the jars from frost and heat.
