Does the glitter wash off?

What kind of finish does this paint have?

Troubleshooting
Paint appears clumpy or uneven
Ensure the paint is thoroughly shaken before use. Apply in thin, even layers rather than one thick coat. If clumping persists, try gently spreading with a brush or sponge.
Paint is not permanent after washing
The paint likely needs proper heat setting. Ensure you have followed the heat setting instructions carefully, allowing sufficient drying time before ironing or machine drying.
Glitter is not visible enough
Apply a second thin layer of paint once the first layer is dry to the touch. Ensure even distribution during application.
Paint bleeds or spreads unexpectedly
Ensure the fabric is taut and not stretched during application. For very absorbent fabrics, consider using a fabric medium or applying in thinner layers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
Shake the bottle well before use. Ensure your fabric is clean, dry, and free of any sizing or finishes. Pre-wash fabric if necessary. Test the paint on a scrap piece of fabric first to get a feel for the consistency and glitter distribution.
Compatibility:
This fabric paint is designed for use on most natural and synthetic fabrics, including cotton, linen, polyester blends, and more. It is not recommended for use on delicate silks or fabrics that cannot withstand heat setting.
Care:
Allow the paint to dry completely for at least 24-72 hours after application. To ensure permanence, heat set the paint according to fabric paint general guidelines (typically by ironing on a hot setting without steam for 3-5 minutes on the reverse side of the fabric, or by machine drying on high heat). Once heat set, fabric items can be machine washed on a gentle cycle with cold water. Avoid using bleach or harsh detergents. For best results, turn the garment inside out before washing.
