Product Information

You can find glycerine in the health and beauty aisles of most supermarkets, drug stores, and department stores. On regular t-shirts or garments, the dried result is not very noticeable. It’s very light and transparent. This paint is rather ideal for something like silk since it is also very durable. Since fabric softeners have surfactants, they can make it easier for acrylic paint to combine with water. In other words, fabric softeners can help to thin acrylic paint.

But can you use it as an alternative to fabric medium? Since it’s an acrylic paint thinner, a pouring medium should work just as fine as a fabric medium, right? You can also use soft sandpaper or another mild abrasive to gently roughen the surface of the fabric. This helps to improve the adhesion of the paint and should help it last longer. Just be sure your fabric is durable enough to take this treatment. Jacquard’s Lumiere line-up provides great color options if you want something shiny and bright. The colors have a metallic or pearlescent effect which works great, especially for dark fabrics. The colors are semi-opaque and light-bodied which keeps the fabric soft after application.

WHAT ARE ACRYLIC MEDIUMS

If you do not want to use a store-bought fabric medium, you can still use acrylic paint on fabric and have it last longer, be softer, and have the acrylic paint be easier to use. Fabric paint works better on natural fibers, and acrylic paints work well on both natural fibers and synthetic fabrics. Some people suggest that you find a clear fabric medium, mix it up or use it straight from the bottle and paint that solution over the top of your painting. As it dries the medium should form a bond with your fabric and the other paint. Glycerol can be toxic, so it is best to not use it if you are painting with children. Look for non-toxic commercial medium options if you are painting with children! Can I Use Vinegar To Turn Acrylic Paint Into Fabric Paint? This means that acrylic paint is more versatile than fabric paint, but it does not work as well (as permanently) on fabric as fabric paint does. Can I Mix Fabric Paint and Acrylic Paint?

If you feel the acrylic paint is thinning out too much using the aforementioned formula, you can try a thinner fabric medium. In that case, I will recommend not using any white vinegar. You will need the glycerine to maintain the required consistency. Please note, that pouring mediums, glue, vinegar (by itself) or water are not professional fabric mediums. The paint is also very durable and if you paint on garments the design will stay on even after several washes. There is no such concern for fabric paints because they use a binder, instead of interacting directly with the fabric molecules, to attach to the fabric. To find the one for the material used to make your shoes, you will have to read the label. Different sealers are available for different fabrics. Plus, there are different types of finishes so you have to make sure you get the one that will look the best on your footwear.It won’t budge at all even after several washes because of the way it is able to penetrate the fabric given how thin it is compared to heavy-body acrylic paint. The primer coat helps seal the pores in the material making it better to paint on. Sort of like preparing a painting canvas as that takes some priming to get the surface just right for your masterpiece. Once you have painted your fabric and left it to dry, you will need to set the paint on the fabric. You can use a mixture of liquid glue and shaving cream as a fabric medium.
