Troubleshooting
Uneven color application
Ensure consistent application technique, applying thin, even coats. For dense fabrics, consider doubling the product amount. A patch test beforehand can help identify potential issues.
Fabric feels stiff after drying
This is uncommon as Fabricoat is designed to keep fabric soft. Ensure you are using the correct product and have applied it evenly. Avoid over-application in single thick coats.
Color rubbing off
Allow the paint to dry completely (typically 24-72 hours depending on conditions) before use or cleaning. Ensure adequate coats have been applied for full coverage.
Paint not adhering properly
Verify the fabric surface was clean and dry before application. Remove any existing finishes, waxes, or coatings. Re-test on a clean patch.
