FAQs
Can I use this on dark fabrics?
Yes, the formula is highly opaque and is designed to provide excellent coverage on both light and dark fabrics.
Do I need to heat set the paint?
While it dries to a permanent bond, some users prefer to heat set it according to general fabric paint guidelines if they plan on heavy-duty washing.
Is it safe for synthetic fabrics?
It works best on natural fibers like cotton, but can be used on many blends; always test a small, hidden area first.
How long does it take to dry?
The paint should be allowed to air dry completely for at least 24 hours before use or washing.
Can I mix this with other colors?
Yes, the Tulip Soft Fabric Paint formula is designed to be easily mixed to create custom shades.
Will the paint crack if I stretch the fabric?
No, it is specifically formulated to be ultra-soft and flexible so it moves with the fabric without cracking or crumbling.
Troubleshooting
Paint is peeling off after washing.
The fabric likely contained sizing or softener. Ensure you wash the fabric thoroughly before painting to remove any chemicals.
The design feels stiff.
You may have applied the paint too thickly. Apply thinner layers and allow each to dry before adding more to maintain flexibility.
Paint is bleeding through to the back of the shirt.
Always place a layer of cardboard or a plastic barrier inside the garment during the painting process to block bleed-through.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best outcome, always begin by pre-washing your fabric without fabric softener; sizing agents found in new textiles can prevent the paint from bonding correctly. Lay your garment flat on a hard, protected surface, placing a piece of cardboard or a sheet of plastic inside the garment to prevent the paint from bleeding through to the back.
After painting, allow the fabric to air dry for at least 24 hours. Because the paint is designed to be permanent, treat it like a standard professional print. When washing your finished project, turn the garment inside out to protect the design and use a gentle cycle with cold water. Avoid high-heat drying to maintain the integrity of the flexible bond over the long term.
