FAQs
How long does one application of Forcefield Protector Spray last?
One application of Forcefield Protector Spray is designed to provide protection for up to 12 months, depending on the frequency of wear and environmental exposure.
Can I use this spray on patent leather shoes?
While the spray is safe for most materials, patent leather has a very specific glossy finish. It's recommended to test on a small, hidden area first to ensure it does not affect the shine or finish.
Will this spray make my shoes completely waterproof?
Forcefield Protector Spray creates a water-resistant barrier, significantly repelling water and preventing saturation. It does not render shoes fully waterproof.
How often should I reapply the spray?
Reapplication is generally recommended every 12 months for optimal protection. However, if you notice the material is no longer repelling water as effectively, it may be time to reapply sooner.
What is the best way to apply the spray for maximum effectiveness?
Ensure your shoes are clean and completely dry. Shake the can well and spray evenly from a distance of 6-8 inches, covering the entire surface. Allow to dry completely for at least 24 hours.
Is the spray safe for athletic footwear with mixed materials?
Yes, the spray is designed to be safe for various materials commonly found in athletic footwear, including canvas, mesh, leather, and synthetic components.
Does the spray have a strong odor?
The spray has a mild odor during application, typical of aerosol products. It should dissipate completely once the shoes are dry. It is recommended to apply in a well-ventilated area.
Troubleshooting
Uneven spray pattern or clogging
Ensure the nozzle is clear. Shake the can vigorously before and during use. If clogging persists, try running the nozzle under warm water (after removing it from the can if possible and safe).
Spray leaves a visible residue or alters material appearance
Ensure the product was applied evenly from the recommended distance. Test on an inconspicuous area first. Allow full drying time; some initial effects may dissipate. For persistent issues, gently clean the affected area and reapply carefully.
Water/stains are still penetrating the material
Verify that the shoes were completely clean and dry before application. Ensure even and thorough coverage. Reapplication might be needed if the protective barrier has degraded over time or was not fully effective initially.
Product does not seem to be drying properly
Ensure application was not done in excessively humid conditions. Allow more time for drying, potentially up to 48 hours in less ideal environments. Ensure the spray was applied in a thin, even coat, as heavy application can prolong drying.

Care:

*Always test on an inconspicuous area first, especially on delicate materials, to ensure compatibility.*
