Many individuals have requested me concerning the properties of acrylic paint and the place to purchase it. I believed then that it could be a good suggestion to speak extra concerning the know-how of making use of it to material and determined to place the story in a separate thread.
Acrylic paints are water-based paints consisting of three fundamental elements: water itself, dye and acrylic emulsion. Any such paint is characterised by brightness of colours, and most significantly (when you draw on the garments, it is vital within the first place) – by resistance to aggressive situations. Nonetheless, when you drew the material appropriately, you do not have to fret about it. It would not flake, crumble, crumple, or crumple, and often stays like new for a very long time, as a result of acrylic withstands excessive temperatures and mechanical stress and isn’t very delicate to moisture.
The fixation of the paint on the material and the acquisition of the properties described above happens as follows: when uncovered to air, the aqueous base begins to regularly evaporate, leaving solely the pigment on the floor and the elastic acrylic polymer that holds it in place. Clearly, the thinner the layer of paint utilized, the quicker it dries, so it will likely be quicker and higher to make a number of “mild” transitions in a single space than to use one thick layer and look forward to lengthy hours.
Now immediately concerning the know-how of utility and the mandatory minimums. Because the matter of t-shirts has been raised in current days, let’s proceed. To start with, you want to select a easy T-shirt on which the image might be utilized, after which determine on the kind of paint: if you wish to apply the picture on a stencil, it’s extra handy to make use of spray cans, as a result of they may assist create a extra even layer.
And if somebody decides to attract immediately on the material, it’s higher to concentrate to brushes of various sizes, acrylic paints in tubes or cans, in addition to diluent, which can’t be prevented, as a result of the thick paint can’t be skinny and skinny sufficient. straight traces.
After deciding on a sample and method, discover a well-ventilated room (that is principally true if aerosols are used). God forbid to not breathe, and get your self a flat floor to placed on a well-stretched T-shirt. By the best way, it is best to place an undesirable piece of material or a big piece of paper inside to maintain the paint from getting on the alternative aspect, or higher but, use plexiglass. If you wish to minimize out a stencil, I like to recommend that you simply take care to purchase adhesive paper. This minimizes the danger of the stencil transferring away from its meant location and making the sides of the picture clearer.
As soon as the design is totally dry (a skinny layer often takes about the identical period of time as an acrylic), it must be secured with an iron (it is onerous for me to inform by temperature. … I do not want it too sizzling, not simply sizzling 🙂 Between the sample and the soleplate is a sheet of heavy paper or material so you do not by accident break your work.
I hope this text will assist somebody)
