Awesome 2 stencils T shirts

Step 4See Ya

Set the iron on high temperature and high steam as possible - it's more the steam then the heat that makes the image appear on the shirt - in a few shirts I didn't even have to touch the fabric to finish the process - so you let a lot of steam out until you see the image appear.

The discharge paste react differently to different fabrics, cotton t-shirts are usually wonderful for this, but with other fabrics, it doesn't always work as well (or at all) I tried a wool skirt and got a very subtle result. Also, the color of the area that was bleached tend to have different colors on different color shirts, I love the way black discolor to a vague yellow-white, a light blue shirt got perfect white and the Red one got an orange yellow.

Very Very important!!! - I half ruined a shirt that way a few weeks ago. After you finished this and before you go on printing the second layer, you have to wash the shirt to get rid of access discharge paste if you don't do this the next layer of paint will just wash off in the first laundry.
