FAQs

How long does the puffy effect last?

The dimensional effect is designed to be long-lasting. However, with extensive wear and frequent washing on high heat or abrasive cycles, the puffiness may gradually diminish over time.

Can I iron my fabric after painting?

Yes, you can iron your fabric. It is best to iron on the reverse side of the painted design or place a cloth over the design. Avoid direct high heat on the painted area.

What is the best way to clean painted fabric?

For best results, wash the decorated item inside out in cold water on a gentle cycle. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry.

How long does the paint take to dry?

The paint typically takes 24 to 72 hours to dry completely, depending on the thickness of the application and environmental humidity.

Is this paint suitable for children to use?

Yes, Tulip Dimensional Fabric Paint is nontoxic and safe for use by crafters of all ages, including children, under adult supervision.

Can I use this paint on materials other than fabric?

This paint is specifically formulated for adhesion to fabrics. While it may adhere temporarily to some non-porous surfaces, it is not recommended for such uses and may not be durable.

What is the shelf life of the paint?

When stored properly with the cap tightly sealed in a cool, dry place, the paint can last for several years. Ensure it does not freeze.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not dispensing smoothly.

Shake the bottle well. Ensure the nozzle is not clogged. If clogged, gently clear with a pin or by rinsing the tip under warm water.

Paint appears flat after drying.

Ensure adequate drying time was allowed. For a more pronounced puffy effect, apply a slightly thicker layer, being careful not to let it spread too much.

Design faded or washed out.

Ensure the fabric was clean and dry before application. Allow the paint to cure for at least 72 hours before the first wash. Wash on a gentle cycle with cold water.

Paint bled or spread excessively.

Apply paint in a controlled manner, avoiding over-squeezing. For detailed work, consider outlining with a fabric marker or using a stencil.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: No special setup is required. Shake the bottle gently before use. Remove the cap and apply directly to the fabric using the easy-squeeze nozzle.

Compatibility: This paint is designed for use on most absorbent fabrics, including cotton, polyester blends, and denim. It is not recommended for synthetic fabrics like nylon or vinyl, or for smooth, non-porous surfaces. Always test on an inconspicuous area of the fabric first.

Care: After application, allow the paint to air dry completely, which can take 24-72 hours depending on the thickness of the application. Once fully dry, the paint is machine washable and dryable on a gentle cycle. For best longevity, turn the decorated item inside out before washing.
