JACQUARD Neopaque Instructions
Read through all instructions before beginning your project.
Jacquard Neopaque is easy to use. Right from the start you can create fun and exciting projects that will impress your friends and satisfy your creative urges. And as your experience grows so will your repertoire of techniques.
They also mix beautifully with Lumiere, Dye-Na-Flow, and Textile Colors.
Neopaque Colorless Extender (JAC579) is an excellent medium for Pearl Ex Powders. Adding Pearl Ex to the other Neopaque colors will result in a muted metallic effect due to the opaque nature of the paints.
Here are the basics to get you started:
Application:
Jacquard Neopaque can be applied with brushes, stamp pads, squirt bottles,
and airbrush. For airbrushing thin with water up to 25%.
Fixing:
After drying, Jacquard Neopaque must be set with heat. There are several ways
to do it:
Ironing:
This is the best method. Use a dry iron and iron on the reverse side on the
appropriate setting for the fabric.
Dryer:
Have the dryer on as hot a temperature as the fabric will take for about 35 to
45 minutes.
Cleanup:
Promptly clean all tools with warm water.
Tips:
Mixing Colors:
Jacquard Neopaque comes in 13 and you can easily mix them to make any color
you desire.
Creating Pastels:
You can mix Neopaque White (JAC589) into any other Neopaque color to create
pastels. Try mixing in a little at first and then adding more if you want to
increase the effect.
Increasing Transparency:
You can increase the transparency of any color by adding Flowable Extender
(JAC579) to it. The more you add the more transparent the color will be.
Increasing Transparency & Flowability:
You can increase both transparency and flowability by adding up to 25% water.
This will give you more of a watercolor effect.
