Jacquard Cyanotype Sensitizer Set

Worked perfectly and great with the instructions on the backside!

Have not been able to use it yet because I read the instructions which tell you to fill the bottle, shake it (till dissolved, whenever that is I dont know), then wait 24 hours before using it. Im just disappointed because shipping took longer than usual prime and now I have to wait another day before I can even get the paper prepared. I will write another review after I actually get to utilize it. By the way, you are told to reconstitute the whole bottle and that the solutions have a long shelf life which doesnt tell me anything. I hope that they dont go bad.

We made cyanotypes on cotton tea towels. I did a test with 4 different times and in the end 20 minutes was best. I was eager to print and didn’t let the chemical solution fully dry on the fabric and it created condensation on the plastic with created foggy shadows and the drips printed into the design. All in all, I am happy with the results and will try again. My foam brush disintegrated in the chemicals and I recommend using a bristle paintbrush. It does take a long time to wash the chemicals out after it’s done baking in sun. Wear rubber gloves- it dried out my skin. I’m very pleased with this kit.

Works great! The solutions seem to keep for several months. Ive been using a cheap foam brush to coat the cyanotypes, but Id imagine itd work better if I went with a glass rod.

Easy to use, fun project. Instructions were easy to follow and a little goes a long way!

This is an economical way to make a number of cyanotypes. It is easy to use and results in beautiful dark blue and white prints. I made my prints on fabric. The steps are the same as printing on paper. Mix equal amounts of the chemicals, paint onto your fabric (or paper), let dry in a dark place. Place leaves, flowers, feathers, lace - just about anything - on the treated fabric, cover with glass and place in the sun. The color of the fabric didnt change with the sun which was a little confusing to me since I had read that it would turn bronze. But as soon as I rinsed it and added a bit of peroxide, the intense blue appeared. My first attempts were keepers!

Worked just as described. Easy to mix solutions and it says the shelf life is long for them. Combine only the amount you will use for brushing on the paper. I mixed about 4 Tbsp of each solution together and was able to get around 10-12 9x12 papers coated. Used watercolor paper and pressed flowers. Lots of fun to do with the family while on vacation.

Very easy to use: mix equal parts of each bottle and brush on the paper. I did a few prints with these and they came out as expected.

Quick delivery and wonderful, easy to handle product! Will buy this over and over again!

Easy to use but for large swaths of fabric I would recommend a spray bottle over a brush.
