FAQs
How long does it take for the paint to dry?
The paint typically dries to the touch within 1-4 hours, but it's recommended to let it dry for at least 24 hours before heat setting for optimal results.
Can I use this paint on non-fabric surfaces?
While primarily designed for fabric, this paint may adhere to other porous surfaces, but its flexibility and permanence are optimized for textiles.
How do I remove the paint if I make a mistake?
If the paint is still wet, it can usually be wiped away with a damp cloth and soap. Once dry or heat-set, removal is difficult.
Is the glitter washable?
Yes, once the paint is properly heat-set, the glitter finish is permanent and washable.
Can I mix Tulip Glitter Silver paint with other Tulip fabric paints?
Yes, Tulip Glitter paints are mixable with other Tulip Brush-On Fabric Paints to create custom colors with a glitter effect.
What is the shelf life of the paint?
When stored properly with the cap tightly sealed in a cool, dry place, the paint generally has a shelf life of several years.
Troubleshooting
Paint is too thick to apply smoothly.
Gently shake the bottle. If still thick, a very small amount of water can be added and mixed, but use sparingly to avoid diluting the paint too much.
Glitter appears dull after drying.
Ensure the paint was applied evenly and in sufficient thickness. For a more intense glitter, a second thin coat may be applied after the first has dried. Proper heat setting is crucial for activating the full sheen.
Paint is cracking or peeling after washing.
The paint may not have been heat-set correctly or long enough. Re-apply and ensure thorough heat setting according to instructions. Ensure the fabric is washable and does not have a high synthetic content.
Brush is clogged with dried paint.
Clean the brush immediately after use with soap and water. If paint has dried, soak the brush in warm, soapy water and gently work the bristles to loosen the dried paint.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: Ensure your fabric surface is clean, dry, and free of any sizing or finishes. Pre-wash fabrics without using fabric softener. Shake the paint well before use. Apply the paint directly from the bottle using the brush applicator.
Compatibility: This paint is designed for use on most common fabrics, including cotton, polyester blends, and denim. It is not recommended for synthetic fabrics that cannot withstand heat setting.
Care: For permanent results, heat set the paint after it has dried completely (typically 24 hours). Place a cloth over the painted design and iron on a hot setting (cotton setting, no steam) for 3-5 minutes. Alternatively, tumble dry on high heat for 30 minutes. After heat setting, the fabric can be machine washed on a gentle cycle with cold water. Avoid bleach and harsh detergents. Hand washing is recommended for the longest-lasting results.
