FAQs
How long does it take for the paint to dry completely?
The paint requires approximately 72 hours to dry completely. It's important to let it dry undisturbed for the best results.
Can I wash the fabric after applying the paint?
Yes, once fully dry, the decorated fabric is washable at 40°C. It's recommended to wash on a gentle cycle and turn the garment inside out.
What types of fabric can I use this paint on?
This paint is suitable for most natural and synthetic fabrics, including cotton, denim, and canvas.
Will the glitter effect remain after washing?
Yes, the glitter effect is designed to be durable and long-lasting, remaining vibrant and sparkling after washing, provided the fabric is cared for correctly.
How do I create the best 3D effect?
Apply the paint directly from the tube using the nozzle, creating consistent lines or dots. Avoid spreading the paint too thinly or too thickly for optimal raised dimension.
Can this paint be used for fine details?
Yes, the nozzle allows for precise application, making it suitable for creating fine details and intricate designs on fabric.
What is the coverage of a 20ml tube?
A 20ml tube is typically sufficient for moderate detailing and accent work on fabric projects. Coverage can vary based on the thickness of application and design complexity.
Troubleshooting
Paint is not drying with a raised effect
Ensure the paint is applied in a consistent layer and not too thinly. Verify that the drying environment is stable and not excessively humid. Allow the full 72 hours for drying.
Paint is cracking or peeling
This may occur if the fabric was not properly prepared or if the paint was applied too thickly. Ensure fabric is clean and pre-washed. For future applications, try applying in thinner, more even coats and allow adequate drying time.
Uneven glitter distribution
Shake the tube gently before use to redistribute the glitter. Apply with steady pressure to ensure the glitter is evenly dispersed within the paint during application.
Paint is too thick to apply easily
Ensure the nozzle is not clogged. If the paint has thickened slightly due to storage, it may be used as is for a more pronounced 3D effect, or very carefully a tiny amount of water might be added, though this can affect the 3D quality.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use Pebeo Setacolour 3D Glitter Effect Paint, ensure your fabric is clean and dry. Pre-wash fabrics to remove any sizing agents that might interfere with adhesion. Apply the paint directly from the tube, using the nozzle to create your desired raised designs. Allow the paint to air dry completely for a minimum of 72 hours. For best results, avoid stretching or stressing the decorated area during the drying period. The paint is compatible with most natural and synthetic fabrics, including cotton, denim, and canvas. After drying, the decorated fabric can be machine washed at 40°C on a gentle cycle or hand washed. It is recommended to turn the garment inside out before washing and to avoid using harsh detergents or bleach.
