PACK OF 10 sheets LUTRADUR 70 - Min sheet size is 9"x7" (23x18cm)
Lutradur is a bonded fabric which behaves like Tyvek when it is heated with an iron or heat gun. It can be coloured before heating or after heating - I find it easier to do it before heating and I use Fabric Paints as the heat from the heat gun then seals the colour. Lutradur has the advantage over Tyvek that if you use Fabric Paints you only usually have to colour one side as the paint bleeds through the material.
When heated with the gun it will bubble (not as much as Tyvek) and will form holes - brilliant for textiles by putting a contrast fabric behind the Lutradur. Unlike Tyvek it does not go hard when heated so it can be stitched through after heating. Also used for creating unusual background effects and toppers for cards.
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Cut your Lutradur with ordinary scissors (it is virtually impossible to tear by hand) and then colour it. You can colour the Lutradur with Fabric Paints, Felt Tip Pens etc.
2. Place the Lutradur between 2 Teflon sheets and iron lightly and it will bubble and distort. Using a heat gun on the Lutradur (with the Lutradur on a Teflon Sheet) will create a more bubbled effect. (Teflon sheet is available in my e-bay shop). Allow to cool before removing from the Teflon.
4. If you have coloured the piece with Fabric Paint the application of the heat will have also set the colour permanently.
I offer postage discounts - if you are buying several items across different product ranges you will need to buy the items, but do not pay for them. Let me combine the invoice to reduce the postage as E-bay does not automatically take into account discounts across different products.
We ship all orders within 3 working days of their receipt. We state 3 days to cover the unexpected however in practice we despatch 95% of our orders the same day they are received (providing it is a normal working day - Mon-Fri) or at latest the next working day. See my feedback for verification. |
