Jacquard - Colorless Waterbased Resist

Colorless Waterbased Resist

Block dye migration with precise lines that wash clean after steaming

Traditional resists that crack, spread unpredictably, or refuse to wash out cleanly. Jacquard's water-based formula eliminates these issues while maintaining the crisp barrier lines that successful resist work demands. The formula holds precise edges without bleeding into surrounding fabric, creating clean separation between color fields whether you're working on silk scarves or cotton wall hangings.

This resist washes out completely with warm water, even after heat-setting with steam, a significant advantage over gutta and wax alternatives that require solvents or boiling. The water-based composition remains flexible when dry, preventing the cracking and puckering that compromise design integrity. You can apply it through traditional applicators or push it through screens for repeated patterns.

Screenable, odorless, and non-toxic, this resist works safely in studios without ventilation concerns. Add water-based dyes directly to the resist itself to create colored barrier lines that become design elements rather than invisible boundaries. From traditional batik-inspired work to contemporary fiber art, this resist provides control without the harsh cleanup that makes other resist techniques impractical for regular studio practice.
