FAQs
Do I need to prepare the fabric before painting?
Yes, the fabric must be washed and dried before applying the paint to remove any sizing or finishes that could affect adhesion.
How long does the paint need to dry before ironing?
The paint should be allowed to dry for at least 24 hours after application before ironing.
What is the correct ironing method for fixing the paint?
Iron the painted area for 5 minutes on a medium heat setting without steam. Ensure the fabric is laid flat and the iron moves continuously over the design.
Can these paints be used on synthetic fabrics?
The paints are best suited for natural fibers like cotton and linen. It is recommended to test on a small, inconspicuous area of synthetic fabric first.
How do I clean the spray nozzle if it gets clogged?
Gently clean the nozzle with warm water and soap. You can also try soaking the nozzle in water briefly. Ensure it is dry before reattaching.
Are the paints permanent after ironing?
Yes, after proper application and ironing, the paint forms a permanent bond with the fabric and can withstand washing.
Can I mix the colors together?
Yes, all colors in the set are intermixable, allowing you to create a wide range of custom shades.
Troubleshooting
Paint is not spraying evenly
Ensure the paint bottle is shaken thoroughly before and during use. Check that the nozzle is not clogged; if it is, gently clean it with soap and water. Hold the can closer or further from the fabric to adjust spray pattern.
Color appears dull after drying
Ensure the fabric was properly prepared (washed and dried). Make sure the paint was applied with sufficient coverage. Reapply a second light coat after the first has dried if needed, and re-fix with ironing.
Paint bleeds under tape/stencil
Ensure the tape or stencil is firmly pressed down onto the fabric to create a good seal. Allow the paint to dry completely before removing tape or stencils. Consider using a fabric medium to slightly thicken the paint for more precise application if available.
Paint washes out after fixing
Verify that the fabric was ironed for the full 5 minutes at the correct temperature without steam. Ensure the paint was fully dry (24 hours) before ironing. Check compatibility with the fabric type.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation:
Before applying the paint, ensure the fabric you intend to decorate is thoroughly washed and dried. This removes any finishes that might interfere with paint adhesion.
Application:
Shake the paint bottle well before each use. Hold the can about 6-8 inches away from the fabric surface. Use in a well-ventilated area. Experiment with spray techniques on a scrap piece of fabric first to get a feel for the coverage and control. For clean lines, use stencils or masking tape, ensuring the edges are sealed to prevent bleeding.
Fixing the Paint:
After applying the paint and letting it dry for at least 24 hours, iron the decorated area for approximately 5 minutes. Use a medium heat setting without steam. This step is crucial for creating a permanent bond between the paint and the fabric.
Compatibility:
This fabric paint is designed for use on most types of natural fibers, including cotton, linen, and blends. Test on a small, inconspicuous area if using on synthetic materials.
Care:
Once fixed, the painted fabric can typically be machine washed on a gentle cycle with cold water. Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach. Air drying is recommended, or tumble dry on low heat. For best longevity, turn the garment inside out before washing.
