Marabu-Silk Effect salt
Amazing and expressive pattern effects are achieved with Marabu-Silk Effect salt. The salt grains are simply sprinkled onto the still wet silk. The salt grains can be applied in diverse shapes on the silk to obtain the desired patterns. The more you dilute Marabu-Silk with water, the more intense the salt effect will be.

Marabu-Silk White liner
For painting white motifs on coloured silk. Water based Marabu-Silk White liner allows painting or over-painting on coloured or dyed silk. White liner has no flow properties. The opacity depends on the thickness of the White liner application; if necessary, apply several layers (the feel of the silk can be affected if applied very thickly). Fix like Marabu-Silk.

Marabu-Silk Thickener
Water based Marabu-Silk Thickener reduces the flow properties of Marabu-Silk and allows fine decorations, monotype, stamp and stencil techniques on silk. Mixing ratio Thickener and silk paint 1:1. After fixing, surplus Marabu-Thickener is simply washed out in lukewarm water. A small amount of Thickener will remain in the fabric, which slightly affects the feel of the silk.

Marabu-Silk Watercolour base
The perfect medium to prevent Marabu-Silk from flowing in certain applications. Even the most detailed painting without outliner is possible with water based Marabu-Silk Watercolour base. Apply with a broad brush all over, as thinly as possible, and paint with Marabu-Silk when dry and fix as usual. As Marabu-Silk Watercolour base is permanently fixed by ironing, the feel of the silk is affected.
