APPLICATION
Ideal on fabric, Brod'Express works equally well on paper or cardboard. A nozzle attached to the tube allows the fineness of the lines to be controlled. The thickness of the lines varies with the speed of the stroke and the pressure exerted.
The consistency of Brod'Express is also suitable for application by brush, by stencilling or by silk screening. For superimpositions, allow time to dry between applications of colour. When applied to broad areas, Brod'Express gives the appearance of velvet.

APPLICATION
Marbling colours are used with a technique inspired by marbling on rice paper as in Japan during the XIIth century and then in Europe by the bookbinders of the XIXth century. It consists of transferring colours by simple contact of the object to be painted with a coloured surface. This technique requires patience, attention and a little practice.
PREPARATION OF THE BATH
Sprinkle 2 heaped tablespoons of thickener into 1 litre of cold water. Mix vigorously with a beater and then allow to stand for at least 2 hours. Next, spread a layer of gel 1 to 2 cm thick into a flat tray or a container larger than the objects to be painted.
CARRYING OUT MARBLING
- Using a dropper, carefully place the selected Marbling colours on the surface of the bath.
- Let the drops spread for a few seconds before working them with a wooden stick, to get various patterns and marblings.
- When the marbling is complete, gently place the side of the fabric or the paper to be painted, on the surface of the coloured bath. Leave it lying for 10 to 15 seconds before pulling it out. Quickly rinse it under running water to remove the excess of gel.
- Put the painted base on a flat surface and allow to dry before fixing by ironing if necessary.

APPLICATION
Setacolor colours can be used on all fabrics, fine or heavy: cotton, wool, velvet, non-woven and even leather. Ready to use, intense and concentrated, they are used pure or diluted with water to obtain watercolour effects. Setacolor colours are suitable for various techniques.
Vivid and bright, the Setacolor Opaque colours have an exceptional covering power to decorate both dark or light coloured fabrics. Their rich texture is especially suited for brush work, stencil work and even silkscreen printing.
The new Setacolor Shimmering Opaque colours are particularly spectacular! Their rich and deep shades are glittering and have a subtle brightness with changing effects depending on the light. It is not recommended to dilute the shimmering colours in order to keep their brightness.
The Setacolor transparent colours are suitable for all techniques to decorate light coloured fabrics. Though lighter in texture than the Setacolor opaque range, they are perfectly suited for brush work, stencil work or silkscreen printing, and are especially appropriate for diluted techniques. The Setacolor transparent paints are light-sensitive and can therefore be used to obtain remarkable effects with sunlight (2 parts water for one part colour).
To keep the spontaneity of the stroke and to keep up with the contemporary painting techniques, the Setacolor colours are now available in a spray : Setacolor transparent tagger. The spray is also very practical to make uniform backgrounds or to make stencils.
Setacolor can be applied on fabics free of sizing and the decorated fabrics keep their suppleness. To fix the Setacolor colours, iron on the reverse side of the decorated fabric for 3 minutes on cotton position. It is also possible to put the fabric in a kitchen oven : 5 minutes at 150°C (300°F) and the colours are fixed. Once fixed, the designs resist machine washing and dry cleaning.
THE AUXILIARIES
Specially formulated to be used in combination with the Setacolor colours, this new range of auxiliary products allows you to adapt the colours to different techniques and to enlarge the creative possibilities.
Lightener : used to create lighter shades without weakening or thinning the product. Please note that the colours will be less opaque.
Thickener : specially recommended for stencilling or silk-screen printing work. Briskly mix a few drops of thickener with the colour until you obtain the desired consistency.
Permanent fabric glue : apply with a paint brush on the reverse side of the fabric used to decorate wooden or cardboard objects. This glue is resistant to washing at 40°C (100°F).
Expanding relief paste : this spectacular product is used to create dimensional patterns. Bright colours : simply apply the paste with a brush, allow to dry and then apply Setacolor paints as desired. Pastel colours : mix the paste with one of the Setacolor paints, then apply as mentioned above. In both cases, allow to dry, then expand by ironing on the reverse side of the fabric or use a hair dryer.
Gold and silver glitter finish : Stir the product well, then apply like a varnish over dry Setacolor. For a uniform finish, work with a brush using smooth, broad strokes. Once dry, press with an iron to fix the finish. The fabric may then be hand or machine-washed at 40°C (100°F).
