We can apply it to different fabrics, but different fabrics may produce different effects. Here are some common fabrics that work well with chameleon color shift mica powders:
1. Cotton fabric: Cotton fabric is one of the most common fabrics. It can have good effects when combined with chameleon pigments, showing bright and vibrant color-changing effects.
2. Polyester: Polyester is a synthetic fiber with good softness and durability. The reaction of chameleon pigments on polyester fabrics is usually more pronounced.
3. Nylon: Nylon is a synthetic fiber with strong elasticity and wear resistance. When paired with chameleon pigments, nylon fabric can have a bright and lustrous color-changing effect.
4. Fleece: When paired with chameleon pigments, fleeces (such as fluff, velvet, etc.) can have a soft and bright color-changing effect.
It should be noted that when using chameleon pigments, it’s best to do a small test beforehand to make sure the color change effect is what you need. In addition, special fabrics may need special treatments or coatings to keep the color-changing effect stable and durable.

If I apply dichroic mica powder onto an encaustic sculpture (wax) and then set it with a heat gun (under 180 degrees) will the dichroic effect remain unchanged?
