On cotton or canvas, Fevicryl Students Fabric Colour Dark Green 15ml yields a flat matt finish. This water-based medium dries in 30 minutes, preventing smudges during multi-layer work. Ironing the back side of the textile makes the pigment permanent and resistant to water during laundry cycles.
Key Features
- Multi-surface Application: Adheres to wood, leather, and metal beyond standard fabric. The paint doesn't flake off non-porous materials once fully cured.
- Fast Drying Window: 10 to 30-minute drying time depending on layer thickness. Quick evaporation lets you apply secondary colours without waiting hours.
- Non-toxic Composition: Formulated without hazardous solvents for safe classroom use. Students handle the paint without chemical fumes or skin irritation.
- Water-resistant Finish: Acrylic-based pigments stay locked into fibres after heat-setting. Designs survive the heavy sweat and humidity common in local environments.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Fevicryl fabric paint permanent?
Ironing the reverse side of the painted fabric at a medium temperature makes the colour permanent. This process binds the acrylic resin to the textile fibres for long-term durability.
How to wash fabric painted with Fevicryl?
Wait at least seven days after painting before the first wash. Turn the garment inside out and use a mild detergent to prevent mechanical abrasion of the design.
