Now, over a year later, I'm sold on the print mix from Pro Chemical and Dye. I find it lasts much longer than plain sodium alginate and urea, even on the counter in the summer heat!Lisa Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13680969208382881391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541515333300281871.post-88840714912950294332014-02-21T12:57:48.242-06:002014-02-21T12:57:48.242-06:00In my fiber surface design course, we only use ure...In my fiber surface design course, we only use urea water and sodium alginate since we always soak the fabric in soda ash water. If you aren't pre-soaking the fabric and you add the baking soda and soda ash to the print paste, then it will shorten the shelf life of the print paste. But with just urea water and sodium alginate, it should last on the counter/fridge for longer.PeteJustPetehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10389609497595689369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541515333300281871.post-65212005003221824092012-07-05T19:24:47.228-05:002012-07-05T19:24:47.228-05:00Hmmm - maybe its me.
