Jacquard folks have outdone themselves! Removable Water-based Resist is a superior resist that easily washes out with warm water (even after steaming or setting), revealing the white or colored silk beneath. It holds a crisp line without spreading and does not shrink or pucker when dry. Always paint the dye or paint on after the resist is dry. Never submerge in a dye bath. Removable Resist may be tinted with any water-based dye for colored lines and is screenable, odorless, alcohol-free and non-toxic. Steaming will set any dye used to color the resist, then wash out the resist, and the colored line will remain. Features: Doesn't spread Resists better Easily tinted Smoother consistency Washes out better after steaming Thicker, so can also be painted on, stenciled on and silkscreened on! Use a small amount of water to thin Use for "faux batik"
