Great for many direct application techniques; screen printing, stamping, stenciling, block printing, to name a few. Can be used to create Batik-like effects. It can also be applied with a Gutta applicator or a brush. Often used in "Breakdown Printing" processes where the partial erosion of the resist is desirable.

Corn Dextrin is used by fabric dyers and textile surface designers to produce a range of resist effects that are almost impossible to get using other products. It is a bit more complex than other water soluble resists and there are some things you should be aware of when using it with Fiber Reactive dyes. 
Dextrins have been known to discharge (remove) Fiber Reactive dye color with prolonged exposure; if this is not something you want, you will need to test the product with your dye color. These products may also shrink during drying causing fabrics to pucker or curl.

Again, always test before embarking on a large project.
