FAQs
Does this fabric paint require heat setting?
No, DecoArt SoSoft Fabric Paint is permanent and does not require heat setting. It becomes permanent upon drying.
How long does it take to become permanent?
The paint is permanent after drying. However, it is recommended to wait at least 24-72 hours before washing for optimal durability.
Can I use this paint on upholstery?
While it adheres to textiles, it is primarily designed for clothing and home decor items that are frequently washed. For upholstery, consider paints specifically formulated for that purpose.
What is the best way to apply the metallic gold paint?
For a smooth, even finish, apply in thin coats using a soft brush or a sponge dauber. Ensure each layer is dry before applying the next to maintain flexibility.
Can I mix this paint with other fabric paints?
Yes, SoSoft paints can be mixed with other DecoArt SoSoft colors to create custom shades. It is generally compatible with other DecoArt fabric paints.
Will the metallic finish be shiny or dull?
The finish is a shimmering metallic gold, designed to add shine. The intensity of the shine can be influenced by the application technique and the fabric it's applied to.
Is it safe to use on baby clothes?
DecoArt SoSoft Fabric Paint is non-toxic. However, always check the product label for specific safety certifications if using on items intended for infants.
Troubleshooting
Paint feels stiff after drying
Ensure thin, even coats were applied and fully dried. Avoid applying excessively thick layers, which can lead to stiffness.
Color is not vibrant on dark fabric
Apply a base coat of DecoArt SoSoft White Fabric Paint first, let it dry completely, then apply the gold metallic over it for better vibrancy.
Paint is peeling or cracking after washing
Ensure the fabric was properly prepared (clean and dry) and the paint was allowed to cure for the recommended 24-72 hours before the first wash. Check that no fabric softener was used during washing.
Brush strokes are visible
Apply paint using a soft brush with light, even strokes. Consider using a sponge dauber for a smoother finish, especially for metallic paints.
