Product Description

This stuff is amazing! The Jacquard Color Magnet attracted us like bee's to honey. Color Magnet is a dye attractant that magically attracts more dye where it is applied, creating a unique, two-toned effect. It has been successfully tested on Dharma Acid Dyes, Dharma Fiber Reactive Procion Dyes, Jacquard Acid Dyes and iDye for Natural and Poly Fabrics . Since this is a brand new product we are currently testing it with all of our dyes to see what works and what doesn't. Color Magnet doesn't stiffen the fabric, so the two-toned result is perfectly soft. This formulation was made specifically for screen printing.

DIRECTIONS: Screen print, stencil, stamp directly from jar onto fabric. Let dry thoroughly. Drying can be aided by the use of a hair dryer, or Heat Gun. Dye according to dye package instructions. Color Magnet was not intended to be thinned, so adding water or other thinning agents to the mix is not suggested by the manufacturer.

Made in: UNITED STATES (USA)

Color Magnet works as stated in the description. I tried it on silk by screening over a stencil. It seems a little thin to get fine details from a stencil. I added a tiny bit of Sodium Alginate(dry) and really stirred until smooth. That helped. After the print was dry I added dye to the silk. (Dupont) I then dried and steamed the silk. After washing it the fabric returned to a soft hand. The product did what it promised - was a two tone color magnet for the silk. Did have a major problem washing out my screen. Color remained on screen and some of the Color Magnet also. Repeated scrubbing did not remove all of the product or color.

I used Color Magnet on Kona cotton, with a detailed image on a silkscreen. After drying, I dyed in Procion MX dyes. The difference created by Color Magnet is quite subtle, yet definitely clear. I think this product would be best used for graphic imagery if silkscreening. It definitely was difficult to remove from the screen. I was, however, hoping for a more significant difference where the Magnet had been applied.
