Pebeo Setasilk is pigmentary heat fixed colour for silk. Colours are vivid, intense and very bright. They mix harmoniously to offer a palette of rich, refined shades suitable for all traditional silk painting techniques. Pebeo Setasilk colours will not dull or harden silk fabrics.
Thick textured water based Setasilk guttas, can be used for outlining. Pearlized, they are applied directly with a tube or an applicator bottle. They pass perfectly through the fibre of the fabric and stop Setasilk colours, which can be then applied. Once fixed with an iron, water based guttas resist washing except for the clear gutta, which is especially formulated to be removable by washing.
The solvent based guttas are used to realize coloured outlines. Black, gold, silver or colourless, they are thick and once dry, they make a barrier for the application of the silk colours. They can be applied with an applicator bottle or with a brush. They do not require fixing : simply air dry for 30 minutes.
