Synthetic Gall for marbling colour
Available, delivery time: 1-3 days
Synthetic ox gall for the marbling technique of Jacquard
Adding Synthetic Gall to Jacquard marbling colours increases the spread of a colour on the marbling surface.
Add it to the paint to dominate one colour over the others or to increase the opacity on the marbling surface.
Gall can add a whole other dimension to marbling and gives you much more control over the behaviour of the colours.
Jacquard's Synthetic Gall can also be used with other acrylic colours for marbling or to increase the gradient.
What do I need to consider - how to use the gall liquid?
The Synthetic Gall should not be added directly to the paint bottles, as the colour spread cannot be reduced once the gall has been added.
Add the gall drop by drop to a second container or palette until the colour spreads as desired.
Bile can also be used to create cavities in the drawing.
The bile is very concentrated - do not drip it directly from the bottle onto the colour-speckled surface or it will create a large hole in your design.
Instead, dilute the bile by adding 1 or 2 drops to 5ml of water (adjust the concentration to your preference). You can then add the bile to the marbling to shape the colours into tight veins or create small, clear voids in the design.
Wiping the diluted bile off a brush creates a honeycomb effect.

Fixation of fabric paints
Note: When following these instructions, please note that these are only general guidelines. You can use them in conjunction with the individual manufacturer’s instructions that are included with the various fabric dyes.
Drying time before fixing:
For best results, allow the painted or printed fabric to dry thoroughly for at least half an hour. We have found that air curing before heat curing (up to 2 weeks!) for as long as possible in a warm and dry environment gives the best results. For faster drying, place the fabric under a lamp and then heat-set. Heat-setting holds the dye in the fibres and allows normal washing.
Tumble dryer
We do not generally recommend home tumble dryers as most do not get hot enough. Commercial dryers set at a minimum temperature of 250° for 45 minutes should be sufficient. Be sure to preheat the dryer.
Fixing with an iron
When heating with an iron it is important to note that temperatures vary from iron to iron. When using an iron, preheat it to a maximum temperature that is safe for the fabric. Place an aluminium foil on the ironing board and turn the painted side of the fabric downwards. Press the iron for at least 15-25 seconds on the back of the fabric and only then move on with the iron. Alternatively, you can use an ironing cloth if you feel the need to iron directly on the painted side. Repeat the process without the ironing cloth on the non-painted side at the highest temperature suitable for your fabric (note: a longer air curing time, 5-7 days, is recommended with this method).
For professionals only:
Using a commercial conveyor belt oven: 350° for 3 minutes, two passes if necessary. The fabric should be hot to the touch to set the colours. NOTE: The optimum time and temperature required for proper curing will depend on the fabric, the colour intensity, the finish and especially on the instructions of the various dye manufacturers. Please do not try in your oven at home!
