HOW TO USE:

• Prepare the Surface: Begin by thoroughly cleaning the vinyl, plastic, or carpet surface. Remove all dirt, grease, oil, silicone, and other contaminants. For carpets, vacuum thoroughly and use a brush to lift the fibers before cleaning. For hard surfaces, a light sanding may be beneficial, followed by wiping with a tack cloth to remove any dust.
• Protect Surrounding Areas: Carefully mask off any areas or components you do not wish to dye using painter's tape and plastic sheeting or newspaper.
• Test Application: Always test the dye on an inconspicuous area of the material first. This allows you to verify color accuracy and assess adhesion before proceeding with the main application.
• Shake the Can: Vigorously shake the aerosol can for at least one minute before you begin spraying to ensure the dye is well mixed.
• Apply Even Coats: Hold the can approximately 10 to 12 inches away from the surface. Apply the dye in light, even coats, using a side-to-side motion. Overlap each pass slightly to ensure complete coverage.
• Work Into Carpet Fibers: When dyeing carpet, immediately brush the dye into the fibers after each light coat to ensure even saturation and a natural look.
• Allow Drying Time Between Coats: Let each coat dry for a few minutes until it is no longer tacky to the touch before applying subsequent coats. Avoid applying heavy coats, as this can lead to stiffness, especially on fabric surfaces.
• Full Drying Time: Allow the final coat to dry completely before touching or handling the treated surface. Refer to the product label for specific recommended drying times.
• Ensure Ventilation: Always use this product in a well-ventilated area to prevent inhalation of fumes. Wearing a protective mask is also recommended.
