HOW TO USE:

1. Preparation: Begin by thoroughly cleaning the surface you intend to dye. For hard surfaces like vinyl and plastic, use a degreaser to remove all dirt, grease, and grime, then wipe dry. For carpets, vacuum thoroughly and use a stiff brush to lift the fibers and remove any debris. Ensure the surface is completely dry before proceeding.
2. 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 surrounding components.
3. Shake Can: Vigorously shake the aerosol can for at least one minute before you start spraying to ensure the dye is well-mixed and will spray evenly. Continue to shake periodically during application.
4. Test Spray: It is highly recommended to test the dye on an inconspicuous area of the material first. This allows you to check for color accuracy and proper adhesion before applying it to the main surface.
5. Apply Light Coats: Hold the can approximately 10 to 12 inches away from the surface. Apply the dye in thin, even coats using a consistent back-and-forth motion, overlapping each pass slightly. Avoid applying heavy coats, as this can lead to stiffness on fabrics or runs on hard surfaces.
6. Brush into Carpet (if applicable): If you are dyeing carpet, immediately after applying each light coat, use a stiff brush to work the dye into the carpet fibers. This ensures even penetration and prevents the carpet from feeling stiff.
7. Allow Drying Time Between Coats: Let each coat dry for a few minutes until it is no longer tacky to the touch before applying the next coat. Typically, two to three coats are sufficient for complete and even coverage.
8. Final Drying: Once all coats are applied, allow the dyed surface to dry completely according to the manufacturer's recommended drying time before touching, reinstalling, or using the item.
