I haven't tried the Jacquard paste but I might order some as it comes in more manageable quantities than the CCG stuff ($88 per 4 litres of something). I have some Thiox in my store cupboard but have never been game to try it - it sounds toxic. Maybe now is the time to haul it out, sometime in the next 4 weeks :-)Clare Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00859388609153312344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1061855159208938391.post-30918087043566097582010-03-03T12:25:10.081-08:002010-03-03T12:25:10.081-08:00Hi Clare.

I have been experimenting with the Jacquard Discharge Paste which is great fun and very controllable. No mixing with other stuff first. Also have had a go with discharging using Thiox. Diana Parkes uses it in her work, and I must say I found it to be very very good. Much more flexible as it can be used in thickened print paste or as a bath. I used it for a discharged Shibori piece with great success. It is a Pro Chem product and does no damage to the fabrics. Have you tried it? Would love to know what you think about it. Also looking forward to any further experimenting........ElizHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06301637747562671553noreply@blogger.com
