After washing the shirts to release any sizing that has been used I place them in a hot dryer.
Next I apply my own hand cut stencils to the shirt and airbrush with custom airbrush colors.
When the paint has dried I draw the strings and sound holes on my instruments. All shirts are heat treated in the hot dryer for 45- 60 minutes, and then treated to heat sealing with a press cloth and a very hot iron. The paints I use are acrylic. If you have ever accidently got acrylic paint on your clothing you know it is there forever.
I still reccomend washing the shirts in warm water on a gentle cycle. The dryer is good for them.
