Clean & Dry: Ensure the fabric is spotless and completely dry, as residual dirt or moisture can trap contaminants.
Masking: Protect surrounding non-fabric areas (plastic, glass, paint) from overspray using masking tape or plastic sheeting.
Application:
Spray: Shake the bottle well and spray lightly, holding it 6–10 inches away, using a slow, sweeping motion.
Brush/Sponge: For products like Odicoat or Fabricoat, use a brush to apply in thin, even layers.
Layering: Apply two light coats rather than one heavy one for better, more even protection.
Cure Time: Let the product dry completely. While some sprays need only 1 hour, others (like Gyeon Fabric Coat) recommend 12–24 hours to fully cure and become water-repellent.
Important Tips
Test Surface: Always test for colorfastness on an inconspicuous area first.
Heat Enhancement: For certain products (e.g., Surainbow), heat from a hair dryer can help the coating cure more effectively.
Maintain: Reapply the coating annually or after deep cleanings
