Product Description
Paint this onto your silk and let it dry before using any silk dye. It's like painting on a starch or primer and then painting over it with your dyes. The dyes will now hold their line without spreading across the fabric. You can now paint with your silk dyes as you would with a fabric paint - no resists are needed. Washes out easily with soap and water. Can be steamed but a little harder to get out afterward. Works with all dyes. Some artists use primers like this so they can paint their signature in a corner of their piece.
Made in: UNITED STATES (USA)

For use with dyes ONLY! If using paints like dynaflow & silkcolors, use SSF100.

GENERAL INFORMATION AND USE

No-flow antifusant is used to inhibit the spreading of dyes on fabric. It is particularly useful for drawing or writing with dye filled felt tip markers or fabric pens on silk fabrics. When using a brush with liquid dyes or paints, blot excess dye from bristles before painting.

This stuff rocks!! exactly what I was looking for to paint detail on sheer fabrics. I diluted it slightly and it really didn't change the hand of the fabric much...but it kept the dyes in place. awesome.

I love this primer. It works great and I have done great painting on the scarves after I use this. I have found that you shouldn't water it down too much.

Artists should be aware that the product dissolves a bit when painting dyes on its surface and that the control with which one paints on paper cannot be duplicated on silk very easily.

This stuff really does let you paint on the silk just as if it were a piece of paper, with no bleeding whatsoever. For someone who wants to do exact drawings that stay just as you apply, it works very well.

I find using the No-Flo allows me to use a watercolor painting style.

It seems to be a great product, but I am learning how to work with it... I can tell you that it does stop dye flow on the silk, and acts as if it was a gesso canvas instead. Now it is up to me to improve my painting skills.

This product works great for treating the silk neck ties I paint with Dye-na-flow. I can even draw on the ties with a
black sketch pen (perm. ink) before I paint and nothing bleeds. It does make the ties less supple though.
