Airbrush & textile sprays: Simply perfect for unique textile designs

The airbrush and textile sprays are odorless and lightfast water-based textile spray paints, perfect for light textiles with a synthetic fiber content of up to 20%. With these versatile tools, individual designs can be created on various textiles in no time, and they can be used for freehand spraying as well as stenciling.

Instructions for preparation and fixation

To use the spray paints effectively, please note the following: Wash fabric before use without fabric softener. First spray on paper scraps to test the spray pattern. Generously cover the work surface and place cardboard between the fabric layers. Rinse the spray nozzle of the textile spray with water after use. Let painted areas dry for approx. 2 hours. Fix the paint in the textile by either placing the fabric in a preheated oven at 150°C for 8 minutes or ironing the paint with a cloth at cotton temperature (3 minutes per 30 cm²). Always wash the fabric inside out and iron it at a maximum of 40°C.
