Full details
Tulip Dimensional Fabric Paint is an ideal choice for DIY enthusiasts, crafters, and fashion designers looking to add texture and color to personalized fabric projects. The primary benefit of this paint is its long-lasting, flexible adhesion that holds up through multiple washes, ensuring your designs remain crisp and dimensional over time. While highly versatile, users should note that the paint requires a full 72-hour curing period before the fabric can be safely laundered.

FAQs
Can I use this on non-fabric surfaces?
Yes, Tulip Dimensional Paint adheres well to canvas, wood, paper, and other porous surfaces.
Is the paint permanent?
Yes, once the paint has fully cured for 72 hours, it forms a permanent, flexible bond with the fabric.
Do I need to heat set the paint?
No, this specific formula is designed to air-cure; no ironing or heat setting is required.
Can I put my painted shirt in the dryer?
It is recommended to turn the garment inside out and use a low-heat setting or line dry to protect the integrity of the paint.
Is the paint washable?
Yes, it is fully washable after the 72-hour cure time. Always wash inside out on a gentle cycle.
Troubleshooting
Paint is bubbling during application
Air bubbles can get trapped in the bottle. Tap the bottle firmly against your palm with the tip facing down to release air.
Paint line is inconsistent or sputtering
Check the tip for dried paint buildup. Wipe with a damp paper towel and clear any blockage with a fine needle.
Paint peeling after washing
The fabric likely contained sizing or softener, or the paint was washed before the 72-hour curing time was complete. Ensure the fabric is washed and dried without additives before re-applying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting, ensure the fabric is clean and free of fabric softeners, as these can interfere with paint adhesion. Pre-wash new fabrics to remove any sizing agents.
- Shake well before use to ensure consistent pigment.
- Apply to fabric using the precision tip, maintaining steady pressure for even lines.
- Let dry flat for at least 4 hours in a well-ventilated area.
- Allow 72 hours to cure before washing; this is critical for the long-term flexibility of the paint.
- Care: Turn the garment inside out before washing on a gentle cycle. Avoid using harsh bleach or commercial fabric softeners to prolong the life of your design.
