Matsui's Water-Based Discharge System offers four distinct discharge binders, three formaldehyde based discharge binders for use on 100% cotton dischargeable fabrics with reactive dyes, and a discharge binder for indigo dyed fabrics and denim.  When using this system we recommend 80-160 mesh using a squeegee of 60-80 durometer, depending your choice of lay-down. The stencil should be od a  water proof direct emulsion or capillary film for optimal performance. It is highly recommended to wash and dry garments or fabrics before packaging and shipping.
