How do I use Jacquard Lumiere for stamping?
You can use it straight from the bottle. Try applying it to the stamp with a sponge brush or make up sponge.
What is the difference between Dye-Na-Flow, Textile Colors, and Lumiere & Neopaque?
All three are waterbased acrylic paints and they all work together very well. However, each one has its own unique charateristics:
Dye-Na-Flow is a very fluid textile paint that has the consistency of water. It can be used for water color like washes and silk painting techniques.
Textile Colors are medium bodied semi-opaque paints ideal for fabric painting.
Lumiere & Neopaque are light bodied, very flexible paints suitable for various surfaces such as leather, paper, & fabric. The Neopaques are very opaque and excellent for covering dark materials. The Lumiere line is a gorgeous assortment of metallics & pearlescents.
Can I mix Jacquard Lumiere with Neopaque, Textile Colors, and Dye-Na-Flow?
Absolutely, all are acrylic paints and they work very well together. Keep in mind that the consistencies of each paint are different, so your resulting colors may be thicker or thinner.
Do you have a paint that will work on synthetic fabrics?
All of our fabric paints work well on synthetics. Our fabric paints lines are: Jacquard Textile Colors, Dye-Na-Flow, and Lumiere & Neopaque.
Can I thin the Jacquard Lumiere for airbrushing?
Yes. It can be diluted by up to 25% to pass through an airbrush.
I've followed all the directions for heat setting, but my paints are washing off. What did I do wrong?
Make sure that you are using a dry iron at the correct temperature setting for the fabric. If you don't heat set at a high enough temperature for a long enough time, the paint may not be thoroughly set. Sometimes if you are using a top loading washing machine, it can abrade the paint from the fabric. Pre-washing fabrics before doing any surface treatments to remove any factory sizings may also help.
Is Jacquard Lumiere dry cleanable?
Yes. All our fabric paints are dry cleanable.
What is the best way to paint fabric covered furniture?
Any of our fabric paints can be used to paint furniture. Depending on what type of effect you want the paint can be brushed, sprayed, squirted, stamped or stenciled onto the cloth. Always do a test on a scrap of fabric or on an inconspicuous place to see if you can get the results you want before tackling the whole piece.
When do you use the Flowable Extender?
Flowable Extender is the medium-bodied clear acrylic base for Lumiere & Neopaque. Mix it into any other Lumiere Color to create transparency without changing the consistency of the paint.
For a transparent metallic shimmer, try adding some of our Pearl Ex Powdered Pigments to the extender for use on fabric.
