Pébéo Setasilk lightening medium 45 ml for silk paint

Mix lighter shades of Pébéo Setasilk silk paint with this lightening medium without making the paint more fluid. It preserves the colours’ wash resistance when the paint is correctly fixed. You receive one 45 ml bottle with a dropper cap; silk paint and silk are needed separately.

Lighter colours for silk

Use the medium with Setasilk colours for soft shades and colour transitions on silk, such as pongé or crêpe de Chine. Add it gradually to the colour and test on the same fabric first. This lets you assess the shade before painting a scarf or another piece. It is a colour additive for this silk paint, rather than a general texture medium or varnish.

Mixing, fixing and washing

Wash the silk first if needed to remove its sizing. Let the applied colours dry thoroughly. Then fix for 5 minutes with an iron on the cotton setting, without steam. Follow the silk paint’s directions too and test on the same fabric. Wait 48 hours after fixing before hand washing or machine washing on a delicate cycle. Dry cleaning is not recommended.
