FAQs

How much Stiffen-Quik should I apply?

Apply thin, even coats, and allow each coat to dry completely. The number of coats determines the stiffness. Start with one and add more as needed.

Can I use this on all types of fabric?

It is suitable for most fabrics, but a test application is recommended, particularly with delicate fabrics or those with dyes that may bleed.

How long does it take to dry?

Drying time varies depending on the amount of spray used and environmental conditions, such as humidity. Allow several hours, or overnight, for complete drying.

How do I clean the fabric after it has been stiffened?

The stiffener is washable. Wash the fabric as usual. The fabric will lose its stiffness, allowing you to reshape and restiffen as needed.

What if I accidentally overspray?

Allow the fabric to dry. If it feels sticky, try washing the fabric to remove the excess, and reapply the stiffener with a lighter coat.

Can I use this on paper or other materials?

While primarily designed for fabric, it might work on certain paper types. However, testing on a small, inconspicuous area is always advised before a full application.

Troubleshooting

Fabric feels sticky after drying.

You may have applied too much stiffener. Allow extra drying time, or wash the fabric to remove the excess and reapply.

Fabric color appears altered after application.

This is rare, but may indicate incompatibility. Test on a hidden area of the fabric. If this happens, wash the fabric immediately.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure your fabric is clean and dry before applying Stiffen-Quik.
Application: Hold the spray bottle a few inches away from the fabric and apply evenly. For a lighter hold, apply one coat. For a stiffer result, apply multiple layers, allowing each layer to dry completely before the next.
Drying: Allow the fabric to dry completely. Drying time will vary depending on the amount of spray applied and the humidity.
Compatibility: Stiffen-Quik is designed for use on most fabrics. However, test on a small, inconspicuous area first, especially with delicate fabrics.
Care: Once dry, the stiffened fabric can be handled and shaped. To clean and reshape the fabric, simply wash it. The stiffener will wash out, and you can reapply it as needed.
