HOW TO USE:

• Preparation is key: Begin by thoroughly cleaning the surface you intend to dye. Use an appropriate cleaner to remove all dirt, grease, oil, and any existing protectants. For carpets, vacuum thoroughly and use a stiff brush to lift the fibers, then clean with a carpet cleaner. Allow the surface to dry completely.
• Masking: Carefully mask off any areas you do not wish to dye using painter's tape and plastic sheeting or newspaper. This prevents accidental overspray on windows, trim, or other components.
• Test spray: Before applying to the main area, shake the can vigorously for at least one minute after the mixing ball begins to rattle. Then, spray a small, inconspicuous test area to ensure color accuracy and adhesion.
• Application: Hold the can approximately 10-12 inches (25-30 cm) from the surface. Apply the dye in light, even coats, moving the can smoothly across the surface. Avoid applying a thick, single coat, as this can lead to drips or an uneven finish. For carpets, lightly brush the dye into the fibers immediately after spraying to ensure even penetration and coverage.
• Multiple coats: Allow each coat to dry to the touch before applying subsequent coats. Typically, 2 to 3 light coats will achieve optimal coverage and color depth.
• Final drying: Once the desired coverage is achieved, allow the final coat to dry completely. This can take several hours depending on environmental conditions (temperature and humidity). Avoid touching or using the treated surface until it is fully dry to prevent smudges or transfer.
• Ventilation and safety: Always use this product in a well-ventilated area. It is recommended to wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as gloves and a respirator, during application.
