Batik Dying /Coloring Process
1. Preparation of color
Dilute the color with water till get the needed color either solid dark or just light color. Test it on plain white fabric first.
2. Coloring
By using the color brush, paint the enclosed area with the needed colors.
3. Color Fixing
When the color is dry completely, apply a layer of SODIUM SILICATE on the fabric to fix the color and leave it for at least 4-8 hours .The colors will be durable and will not fade easily.
4. Boiling
Put some SODA ASH in the water and boil the fabric for few minutes. The sodium silicate will be removed from the fabric.
5. Drying
Hang the fabric for drying
*Dying only can absorb by fabrics with natural fibre ..(eg, 100%cotton, 100 %silk.) Other fabrics with polyester element won’t absorb!*
