For setting silk scarves, silk paintings up to 120cm wide and meters of fabric. This stainless steel steamer sets the dyes very giving brilliant vivid colours. if you use gutta take extra care with your paper layers when rolling for steaming. When adding to trough always add boiling water to top up. never let the trough run dry, what you want is an even temperature that produces essential steam rather than boiling. Use your steamer over two stove hot plates or gas rings. This 120cmx20cmx20cm steamer is in excellent as new condition . There are surface stain marks from the gas burner and where the lid was taped to the trough. The silk scarves in photo have been in use for 35 years which gives an idea of how well the colours have beee set by the steamer. I am selling the steamer because I now have a ceramic top stove not suitable to use with the steame. There isa good selection of how to steam silk paintings on UTube
