HOW TO USE
For best results, begin with clean, dry fabric that is free from dirt, oils, fabric softeners, and other contaminants that could interfere with adhesion.
1. TEST FIRST
Fabric types and finishes vary considerably. Always test Fabric Medium, your selected paint, and your complete application technique on a small inconspicuous area or fabric sample before beginning the full project.
2. MIX
Combine Paint Couture Fabric Medium with a compatible Paint Couture paint according to the recommended ratio for the product.
Mix thoroughly until the paint and medium are evenly incorporated.
3. APPLY
Apply the mixture using the technique appropriate for your project.
Depending on the desired effect, experiment with:
Brushes ' Stencil Brushes ' Sponges ' Decorative Painting Tools
Avoid unnecessarily heavy applications. Multiple lighter applications may provide greater control than one very heavy coat.
4. ALLOW TO DRY
Allow the painted textile to dry thoroughly before additional coats, handling, or further finishing.
Drying time can vary based on fabric type, application thickness, temperature, and humidity.
5. FINISH AS DIRECTED
Follow the directions for curing and any required setting procedure before putting the finished textile into service.
A NOTE ABOUT FABRIC
Not all fabrics behave the same way.
Natural and synthetic fibers can absorb coatings differently, and existing fabric treatments may affect application and adhesion.
Results can vary depending on:
Fiber Content • Fabric Weave • Surface Texture • Absorbency '
Existing Treatments ' Paint Color ' Application Thickness
For that reason, Paint Couture recommends testing your complete system before beginning a large or important project.
