FAQs

How many layers of OdiCoat should I apply?

One layer provides water resistance, two layers give a coated look, and three layers create an oilcloth appearance. The number of layers depends on the desired effect and application.

Can I use OdiCoat on all types of fabric?

While OdiCoat is compatible with many fabrics, it's always best to test on a small, hidden area first to ensure compatibility and desired results.

How do I clean the treated fabric?

Treated fabrics can be machine washed at 30°C. Avoid harsh detergents and bleach. Air drying or tumble drying on a low setting is recommended.

What kind of finish does OdiCoat provide?

OdiCoat is available in both glossy and matte finishes, depending on the product version used.

Does OdiCoat have an odor?

No, OdiCoat is odorless, making it pleasant to work with.

Can I sew the fabric after applying OdiCoat?

Yes, after the OdiCoat is completely dry and ironed between layers if desired, the fabric can be sewn and cut.

Is OdiCoat acid-free?

Yes, OdiCoat contains no acids or solvents, making it safe for various projects.

Troubleshooting

Gel is clumping or not spreading evenly.

Ensure the product is not expired. Apply in a thin, even layer with a clean brush. If the issue persists, the brush may need replacing.

Fabric feels sticky after drying.

The fabric may not be completely dry, or too much gel was applied. Ensure each layer is thoroughly dry and consider applying thinner coats.

Water is penetrating the fabric.

Apply additional layers, ensuring each layer is completely dry before applying the next. Ironing between layers can help seal the fabric.

The finish is not as glossy as expected.

Apply another layer, following the instructions. For a matte finish, ensure the correct product version is used.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Prepare the Fabric: Ensure the fabric is clean, dry, and free of any oils or treatments.
Application: Use a brush to apply OdiCoat evenly. Avoid thick applications to prevent cracking.
Layering: Allow each layer to dry completely before applying the next layer. Iron between layers if you want to make the project more resistant to wear.
Drying: Let the treated fabric cure for the time recommended on the product label. This ensures the best results.

Compatibility:

Care:

Treated fabrics can be machine washed at 30°C. Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach. For best results, air dry or tumble dry on a low setting. Ironing between layers makes the project more resistant to wear.
