FAQs
How do I make the paint permanent?
After the paint has dried completely (allow at least 24 hours), heat-fix it by ironing the decorated area for 3-5 minutes on a medium heat setting suitable for the fabric. Do not use steam.
Can I wash the decorated fabric in a washing machine?
Yes, once the paint is dry and heat-fixed, the fabric can be machine washed at 40 degrees Celsius.
What types of fabric can I use this pen on?
It is suitable for most natural and synthetic fabrics, including cotton, linen, denim, and polyester blends. Always test on a small, hidden area first.
How should I store the fabric paint pen?
Store the pen horizontally with the cap tightly sealed to prevent the nib from drying out.
Is the paint safe for children to use?
The paint is water-based and generally considered safe for craft use. Adult supervision is recommended for young children during application.
What is the coverage of a single pen?
A single 20ml pen is suitable for detailed work, lettering, or small to medium-sized designs. Coverage will vary depending on the application thickness and fabric type.
Troubleshooting
Paint flow is inconsistent or not starting.
Shake the pen vigorously and press the nib gently on scrap paper to unblock. Ensure the pen is stored horizontally.
Paint is bleeding on the fabric.
Ensure the fabric is taut and not stretched. Avoid applying excessive paint. Use on a fabric with a tighter weave if possible. Allow for proper drying time between coats.
The white color appears transparent.
Apply a second coat after the first coat has dried. Ensure even application in the first coat.
Nib gets clogged with dried paint.
Gently clean the tip with a damp cloth or cotton swab. If paint has dried hard, you may need to carefully use a pin to clear it, but be cautious not to damage the nib.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Shake the pen well before use. If it's a new pen or has been stored for a while, you may need to gently press the nib onto a scrap piece of paper to start the flow of paint. Test the flow on a scrap piece of fabric first.
Compatibility: Suitable for most natural and synthetic fabrics, including cotton, linen, denim, and polyester blends. Always test on an inconspicuous area first, especially on delicate fabrics.
