Sodium Alginate is pure kelp (seaweed) - it's commonly used to thicken food. It is the most economical thickener for Dharma's Fiber Reactive Dyes and it works as a thickener for other liquids as well. Use whenever you want to use dyes more like a paint. You can then brush the dyes on and they will stay put, as well as stamping, stenciling or silk screening the dyes. Dyes are more work than Paint to use in these methods, but the reward is, they leave absolutely no feel on the fabric the way paints can.
Sprinkle the thickener into the chemical water or liquid dye slowly, mixing continuously. (You can also use a blender - add the alginate through the top with the blender going). Let sit for an hour or so to continue to thicken before use. Refrigerate to store. Don't over-thicken, thinner is better.
We have two kinds: High viscosity, low solids for cotton, and Low viscosity, high solids for silk. The silk one allows you to draw finer lines but requires you to use more.
You can use them interchangeably. Specify which one you prefer.
Not recommended for thickening Paints.
