FAQs
How do I clean the dauber tip if it gets clogged?
Gently wipe the felt tip with a damp cloth. For stubborn clogs, you can carefully use a pin to dislodge dried paint, being careful not to damage the felt.
Can I use these paints on surfaces other than fabric?
While designed for fabric, they may adhere to other porous surfaces like paper or wood. However, the finish and durability may vary, and they are optimized for fabric flexibility.
How long does the paint take to dry?
The paint dries to the touch relatively quickly, typically within 1-2 hours. However, for full curing and best washability, allow at least 72 hours.
How should I wash items decorated with this paint?
Wait for the paint to cure for 72 hours. Then, machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Tumble dry on low or air dry for best results.
Can I layer colors with the dauber?
Yes, you can layer colors. Ensure the underlying layer is dry to the touch before applying the next color to prevent muddiness and achieve distinct designs.
Is this paint permanent?
Once cured, the paint is permanent and washable, designed to withstand normal wear and laundering.
Troubleshooting
Paint is not flowing from the dauber
Shake the cylinder more vigorously. Ensure the felt tip is not clogged; if so, gently clean with a damp cloth or a pin.
Uneven paint application
Adjust the pressure applied to the dauber. Try a dabbing motion rather than a smooth stroke for more even coverage, especially when using stencils.
Paint is drying out in the tube
Make sure the lid is screwed on completely after every use. Store the dauber upright.
Paint bleeding under stencil
Use less paint on the dauber by dabbing off excess on a scrap piece of paper before applying to the stencil. Ensure the stencil is firmly adhered to the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The dauber paint is ready to use out of the package. Ensure the lid is fully screwed on after each use. To begin, shake the cylinder gently to mix the paint.
Compatibility: This fabric paint is designed for use on most natural and synthetic fabrics. Test on a small, inconspicuous area first if unsure. It adheres best to clean, dry fabric surfaces.
Care: To maintain the paint's quality, always ensure the lid is tightly sealed after use to prevent drying. Store upright in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. For best longevity of the painted design on fabric, allow the paint to cure for at least 72 hours before washing. Machine wash gently in cold water and air dry or tumble dry on low heat.
