Medea Textile Leather Cleaner 16oz (448ml)

Art No: MTX-3-053-16 - Medea Textile Leather Cleaner 16oz (448ml)

Medea™ Textile Colours, designed by renowned textile and fine artist Jürek, are suited to all artists, from beginners to the most demanding professionals. The new black and white colours are low in viscosity, yet very opaque, and spray better than ever. "The Lube" special flow enhancer means no clogging and better fabric absorption.

Leather Cleaner:Cleaning the leather is the most important stage of working on leather. This high powered cleaner is excellent for preparing leather for painting. It is biodegradable.

Stretch and tape your leather garment over specially contoured cardboard. First test the Leather Cleaner on a small inconspicuous area for compatibility. Use a rag to apply small amounts of Leather Cleaner to area being painted. Wipe across leather, removing varnish on material. Keep using different areas of the rag to avoid contamination of clean leather. Excess will evaporate. Use heat gun or hair dryer to speed up the drying process.

Medea Textile Colours bind to leather without any toxic additives, like catalyst or bond all. Use heat (infrared heat or industrial heat gun) to eliminate water from each layer of colour. Alternate colour then heat, colour then heat, etc., until work is finished, then final heat and Top Coat as the final varnish.

Heat Setting: Heat setting is a final, very important, step in decorating fabric and leather. For synthetic fabric, consult the manufacturer, or test small areas first. Always make sure the paint is dry before heat setting.

• Silk Screen Infrared Heat Conveyor - 2 minutes at 320 to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Transfer heat press – 30 seconds at 350 to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Test your press periodically for proper temperature read out – consult with manufacturer.
• Iron – Cotton or highest setting for 2 minutes for each area covered by the size of the iron. Do not iron directly onto the painted surface. Protect it with a cloth. Use circular motion to avoid “hot spots” that can burn the fabric.
• Industrial Heat Gun– 1000 degrees Fahrenheit in circular motion at 2 inch (5 cm) distance, for 30 seconds on each 5 inch (13cm) by 7 inch (18cm) area.

Washing:For best results hand washing is strongly recommended. Machine washing is too abrasive for delicate work and garments as well. Your Art commands respect!
