FOR
CONSISTENT COLOR: ALWAYS BEGIN SPRAYING ON A PAPER TOWEL AND CONTINUE,
USING EVEN PRESSURE,
ONTO AND OFF OF YOUR PROJECT.
Cover
a piece of cardboard with a paper towel. Always start your spray on
this paper towel. Then, move while spraying onto your project and
continue spraying back onto the paper towel before letting go of the
trigger. This will avoid any spatter on the project. Try and use one of
the following techniques on a single project to create new, unique and
interesting designs.
Simply
Spray Fabric Paint Tips
for Successful Fabric Spray Painting
1.
Be Absolutely sure you pull the trigger all the way!
It doesn’t take a lot of force, just go for it. When you do,
you get a nice spray cone that is easy to work with. When you
don’t squeeze the trigger all the way, you can allow the
propellant to escape without the paint or other undesirable effects.
2.
More light coats works far better than one heavy coat.
Cover the area evenly, but not heavily. Trying to get the job done with
one coat saturates the fabric, uses much more paint and does not end up
looking any better.
3.
Use the entire can in a single application.
If you do not use the entire can, you can use it another time if you
store the can upside down with the spray nozzle in shallow water. This
will prevent the paint from drying within the spray nozzle and allow
you to use it another day.
4. If a can does
not spray, pull the trigger forward and spray the can upside down to
clear the nozzle.
