Lac and Textiles

How can lac combine with textiles and what are the properties


Lac can be used as a hardening material for textiles.


First you would need to dissolve the lac in alcohol (about 70%) to get ‘liquid Lac’ .


You can brash this liquid on the textile and start shaping it.


Once the form is shaped, use a heat-gun to melt the lac into the fibres.
