HOW TO USE:

1. Preparation is Key: Begin by thoroughly cleaning the surface you intend to dye. Ensure all dirt, grease, oils, and other contaminants are completely removed. For carpet, vacuum and brush vigorously to lift all fibers. For hard surfaces like vinyl or plastic, use a suitable degreaser. Allow the surface to dry completely before proceeding.
2. Mask and Protect: Carefully mask off or cover any areas you do not wish to dye using painter's tape and plastic sheeting. This step is crucial to prevent overspray on adjacent components.
3. Shake Well: Before and during use, shake the aerosol can vigorously for at least one minute to ensure the dye is thoroughly mixed and consistent in color.
4. Test First: Always test the dye on an inconspicuous area of the material first. This allows you to confirm the color match and observe the adhesion properties before applying it to the main visible areas.
5. Apply in Light Coats: Hold the can approximately 10 to 12 inches (25-30 cm) away from the surface. Apply the dye in thin, even coats using a smooth, side-to-side motion. Overlap each pass slightly to ensure uniform coverage and prevent streaking.
6. Brush for Evenness (Carpets Only): If dyeing carpet, immediately after each spray pass, use a stiff brush to work the dye into the fibers. This helps to distribute the color evenly, prevents matting, and ensures the carpet retains its softness. Brush in multiple directions (e.g., horizontal, then vertical) for best results.
7. Allow Drying Between Coats: Let each coat dry for a few minutes until it is no longer tacky to the touch before applying the next layer. This usually takes about 5-10 minutes, depending on humidity. Apply 2-3 coats for optimal coverage and color depth.
8. Full Cure: Once the final coat is applied, allow the dyed surface to dry completely before touching or placing any weight on it. Refer to the product label for specific full cure times, which can vary.
