Product Description:
The DECOLA Gutta Outliner for Silk (Indelible) is a professional-quality contour liner specially designed for silk painting and cold batik techniques. Manufactured in Russia, this outliner is used to create precise boundaries on silk fabric, preventing colours from spreading or mixing during painting.

Ideal for both artists and hobbyists, the gutta outliner forms clean, flexible borders without hardening or damaging the delicate texture of silk. It allows you to achieve sharp outlines, intricate patterns, and clearly separated colour areas, which are essential in traditional cold batik silk art.

This outliner is widely used in hand-painted silk, a technique originating from Southeast Asia and now embraced by fashion designers and interior artists worldwide. Once applied and dried, the outliner enables controlled colour application, enhancing the brilliance and flow of silk colours.
