air soluble pens

sarahm

Ive never gridded before, and I would like to try it on my next project. Im aware of water soluble pens, but then found air soluble ones, when the ink disappears itself without washing. Has anyone tried these before, how long does it take for the ink to fade and would you recommend them?

Thanks

I’m very interested in the reply’s here too :)

I have used the air soluble pens before and it just depends on how much moisture is in your house.  In the summer when my air conditioner is going I am lucky if the markings last a day on the fabric, in the winter when its dryer in the house, the marks will last 3 or 4 days.  So if the project is big and you do not want to have to keep remaking the fabric I would suggest using the water soluble pens.  Good luck with your project.

Thanks for your reply. I think Ill avoid air soluble pens, and either use the water ones or grid with cotton.

In my case, it takes just few minites to fade.
So I have to draw grid again and again.

Wow, you should really pick the other options! I wonder why it could be that fast at your place? {:3_54:}

I use Pilot Friction pens (it disappears when you use iron and reappears when you put in cold)
