Resistad’s unique chemistry offers all the advantages of both permanent and removable resists. The Medium Concentrate formula allows artists to tailor the viscosity of the resist to their needs. Additionally, because it is extra thick, it can be loaded with dye to produce colored lines instead of white ones without jeopardizing performance. As a “hybrid” resist, it holds detail better than any other water-based system, yet it washes out of the fabric easily with warm water.
Apply the gutta to the silk using an applicator, silk screen, brush, stamp or stencil.
Rapid dry the gutta design for maximum sharpness, if possible.
For optimum resist performance, heat set with an iron (set on silk temp.), or any other convenient heat appliance (heat press, heat gun, etc.). Otherwise, allow to completely air dry.
Color in the gutta design using liquid dyes or paints.
Once the color is set according to the manufacturer’s instructions, remove the resist by first soaking in cool water and then rinsing with Synthrapol.
