FAQs
Does this paint require heat setting?

Can I use this paint on silk?
Yes, the paint adheres to most textiles, including silk, though pre-testing on a small, inconspicuous area is always recommended for delicate fabrics.
How do I clean my brushes after using this paint?
Clean brushes immediately after use with soap and water. Dried paint may be difficult to remove.

Can I mix colors?

Will this paint make my fabric stiff?
No, this paint is formulated to be the softest fabric acrylic, providing a flexible and soft feel to the fabric even after it dries.
Troubleshooting
Paint feels stiff after drying.
Ensure you are applying thin, even coats. Over-application can lead to stiffness. Try reapplying a thinner coat over the dried paint.
Paint is not adhering well or is peeling.
Confirm the fabric was clean and free of any fabric softeners or finishes before application. Ensure the paint has dried completely before handling.
Color appears dull or less vibrant than expected.
Apply additional thin coats to build opacity. Using a primer or base coat on darker fabrics can also enhance vibrancy.
Paint is too thick to apply smoothly.
Shake the bottle vigorously. If still too thick, you can add a small amount of water (a few drops per ounce of paint) or a fabric medium to improve flow, but do so sparingly to maintain paint integrity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This paint adheres to most natural and synthetic textiles, including cotton, polyester blends, linen, and rayon. It can also adhere to other surfaces like wood or canvas, though its primary formulation is for fabric.
