 Working with Tyvek® - page 2

You will learn to control the bubbling and shrinkage though the temperature of the iron, how long you apply the heat, how hard you press the iron against the pressing cloth, and by heating sections rather than the entire piece.  Figure 3 shows a rectangle before any heat was applied. 

Figure 3

Figure 4 shows it after a brief application of heat – just enough to cause the bubbling to begin. 

 

Figure 4

Figure 5 demonstrates more significant bubbling and shrinkage after another application of heat. 



Figure 5

In Figure 6 you can see that enough heat has been applied to cause some disintegration of the Tyvek. 



Figure 6

Figure 7 shows considerable shrinkage and disintegration.  Most of the bubbles are gone and very little of the pink color is left.  It’s possible to keep the shape of the original piece, or at least the suggestion of the shape which opens many creative doors. 



Figure 7

In Figures 8 and 9 you can see the before and after look of triangular pieces of Tyvek.  These pieces also demonstrate that it’s possible to be imaginative with the paint and by controlling the shrinkage still see some of the original paint effects.
