does it make a mess? If I make a shirt with this paint would the design crack or mess up if I wash it?

Yes, they are great for clean lines the tip is very narrow so it is pretty precise. I used them to make non-slid socks for my 2 yr old twins.

Yes, you have to paint or primer over it when its done drying/curing. Other wise it literaly turns white and chalky from sun exposer. It a real thin runny type epoxy. So its difficult to keep mess to a minimal.

I couldn't really say. I only use a washout color, but it did fine. No discoloration or anything. I can't imagine that it would be harmful. Prob fine.

I'm not sure but it doesn't hold up very well. I've done 1 shirt so far and after washing it once it was faded and cracked.

I myself did. I just followed the drying time on the paint i used, which was about 6 hours. It might be better if you wait longer in humid conditions. The only problem i had was I used it over white paint and it yellowed some. Its not a problem since it was on a worktable. I don't know if the same thing would happen with other colors. I hope this helps.

Hi,The paint job is pretty good--I would expect it to be fine as long as it didn't stay wet too long. There was a strong chemical smell when it arrived--left it out since then and it's gone now.

We made 4 adult and 4 kid shirts plus a pair of sneakers and still had dye left over. It depends on how crazy everyone gets. Have everyone decide on what design and colors they want to use beforehand. We also used some cooking grates (bought at the dollar store) over rectangular bins. Choose a color and have everyone who wants to use that color to do so with their t-shirt on the grate over the bin and collect the spill over dye back into the squeeze bottle with a funnel. Rinse grate and bins and repeat with another color. Sounds a bit overkill, but it will guarantee not running out of dye. The dye is indeed professional as my T hasn't faded one bit one year later. Have fun! We made 4 adult and 4 kid shirts plus a pair of sneakers and still had dye left over. It depends on how crazy everyone gets.

With the non-slip particles in this paint its imperative to mix it well I used it for a bench surface and I just poured it on and then vibrated the bench by hitting the frame with a big rubber mallet and this tended to settle and distribute the rubber particles. With it this thick the binder in the paint has small cracks in the surface and is not completely smooth but I am generally pleased with the surface. Takes a few days to dry. I gave my bench at least a week so it would be sure to dry completely.

The crayola fabric crayons are not designed to wash out after being ironed onto a shirt. As for actually applying the crayon directly onto the shirt, it would not work that well and the crayons are not designed for that anyway - they are designed to be applied to paper then ironed onto a cloth item. It sounds like you need a product designed specifically for embroidery. There are two products I am aware of for this purpose. the first is a pen with actual disappearing ink - you trace and within a few hours the ink has disappeared (http://www.amazon.com/Collins-vanishing-disappearing-fabric-marker/dp/B001W2M2WO/ref=sr_1_4?s=arts-crafts&ie=UTF8&qid=1377646526&sr=1-4&keywords=embroidery+ink+pen OR http://www.amazon.com/Singer-Fabric-Marking-Pen-Pencil/dp/B00566E680/ref=sr_1_2?s=arts-crafts&ie=UTF8&qid=1377646567&sr=1-2&keywords=embroidery+ink+pen OR http://www.amazon.com/Singer-Point-Disappearing-Marking-Purple/dp/B003BRX6PK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1377646511&sr=8-1&keywords=embroidery+ink+pen. the other product will wash out after a wash or two (http://www.amazon.com/DMC-U1539-Embroidery-Transfer-Blue/dp/B000W5HTX4/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1377646660&sr=8-5&keywords=embroidery+ink+pen). I hope these links help.

Please use extreme caution with this product. It will not last as advertised. And could make the problem worse. If there is a true mold a 2 to 1 mixture of bleach and water could work. Use gloves and watch you do not get any on your clothes. Try a small spot first to see how it responds. Although I think a simple cleaning and repaint to exact match is how I would handle it. It could be a simple matter of wax build up, and then all you need to do,is get a old tooth brush and soapy water and be carful to watch your paint. Good luck,!

This is intended to make the paint more flexible after drying, making it great for fabric. However I wouldnt recommend it particularly for figurines, an acrylic model paint would serve you better.

This wont stain. Its clear as water. Ive had no trouble with it. Though ill usually throw an old shirt or a sweat shirt on so i wont hqve to worry.

I have a colleague that used it on his car and it sat too long and removed the paint. If you use it, I would wipe it down and wash it with soap and water soon after it is applied. It may have been a fluke but thought I would share their experience.

No. You do not steam this paint. Use it on a clean and dry fabric - not washed or dried with fabric softener - let dry for a few days and then launder as normal.

If you dry it on low heat it should be fine. High heat melts the fibers and leaves crunchy spots. I have the Van Gogh print, not this one, but it should still apply.

I would use a paint made specific for fabric, I assume it would peel off when you washed it, it doesn't list fabric as a choice to use on the can, so it's probably not designed to withstand the movement/washings. You could always experiment? Sometimes things work for unintentional purposes? But to be clear, they don't recommended it. Good luck on your project! : )

Absolutely!!! I use these paints on everything and I mean everything!!! It comes out pretty nice whenever u want to do a Crackled effect. So if I may suggest something, perhaps it would be helpful if u go to an Arts store u most likely will pay over 12.00 dollars for a small bottle. Now i AM NOT CLAIMING THE INVENTOR OF THIS CRACKleD EFFECT, BC i LEARNED ON YOUTUBE. All you need is to first cover whatever it s u want crackled with "Elmer's Glue!! Now it 0nly costs .99cents... So apply one coat of Elmer's glue, then apply a coat of whatever color u like then all u have to do is Blow-dry!! It's that simple, and it comes out looking much better then even the crackled glue. I hope I was able to help...
