Paints

Using this marbling paint, is easy and beautiful marble effects can be achieved on many different substrates. Suitable for use on plastic eggs and balls (always try a test area first on plastic objects), glass, acrylic, wood, papier mâché, blown eggs, candles, metal and polystyrene. All objects should be plain and paint-free. Papers, Japanese paper, many fabrics and silks can also be marbled using Marabu-easy marble. The paint is organic solvent based and is touch-dry after about 15 minutes. The paint is not permanent and Marabu say that it will wipe off with a damp cloth after drying. In practice we have found it quite difficult to 'wipe off' - we have found it quite durable, but there are limits and it cannot be described as washable and or wash-resistant.

We always recommend sample tests before committing to the final project.

All-purpose, water based fabric paint and printing ink for light coloured fabrics; ideal for school, hobby and leisure use. Marabu-Textil is washing machine resistant up to 60 °C; fluorescent and metallic shades up to 40 °C. The colour shades offer good fading-resistance, can be intermixed and diluted with water. The opacity of Marabu-Textil is very good on light coloured fabrics; for dark materials we recommend Craftynotions Colourfil Thoughts Multi-Purpose. Apart from knitted garments, Marabu-Textil is suitable for all non-finished fabrics such as cotton, linen, jute, silk, synthetics and blended woven fabrics. Marabu-Textil is fixed simply by ironing or oven-curing. Marabu-Textil can be combined superbly with Marabu fun-liners. The paint is easy to apply and has a particularly soft feel.

Working Guidelines
Before painting, wash to remove dressing and softening agent. Apply Marabu-Textil to the dried fabric and allow to dry. Then iron the whole painted area (50 x 50 cm of each) from the front, through a thin cloth, at the heat setting for cotton, for three minutes (oven fixing: 8 mins. at 150 °C, except synthetic and blended woven fabrics). After that, Marabu-Textil is extremely wash resistant up to 60 °C, Textil-Metallic and Textil-Fluorescent up to 40 °C. Clean brushes and other utensils with water immediately after use. Always wash and iron the painted textiles inside out or iron the whole painted area from the front, through a cover of thin cloth
