Product Description
We had so many requests for these, we had to try them. Once you do, you'll be addicted to the incredible possibilities for creating your own complex cloth creations. The Paintstiks are real oil paint in a solid stick form. Quality pigments are mixed with special drying oils in a highly refined wax base, and they can be used on a wide variety of surfaces like wood, metal and paper, and almost any type of fabric including natural or synthetics, leather or suede. Allow to dry (3-5 days), then iron to set the paint and make it washfast on fabric. Also available are these incredible "rubbing plates" that allow you to create designs easily and quickly on fabric. It's a great way to add all-over design to a simple dyed silk scarf or low immersion dyed cotton fabric. You can also use them with stencils or rubber stamps or masking. The colors can be easily blended also.
Instructions
Instructions For Using Shiva PaintStiks
"How-To" for Fabrics:
If using commercial fabrics or clothing prewash and press prior to application. When using your own hand-dyes it is best to use the paintsticks as a final layer. If you do overdye, the soda ash breaks down the paint and it washes off. It also helps to tape or pin down the fabric to give better control when applying the paintstick.
There is a thin skin that seals the surface of the paint that has to be removed by rubbing it off or peeling with a knife. Apply paint in the desired method (rubbing plates, stencil brushes, rubbing, or direct drawing). Allow to dry thoroughly, generally 3-5 days on fabric. Iron on the appropriate temperature setting for the fabric for 10-15 seconds per area until all of the design has been heat set. Use a press cloth or paper to protect iron and ironing board. Wash gently in cool to warm water to remove any residue.
Do not dry clean.

Great color, easy to use. Smelly.
Takes a while to dry.
May appear to be dry, but smear all over your iron.
Not my favorite medium, but good quality
