Can we get a video on washing tips to prevent cracking and flakes?

[@cameronlum3248]

you need textile medium. mix your acrylic paint with textile medium - one part paint, 2 parts medium. this will prevent cracking and fading from washing.

[@swisholas4228]

cameron lum is that the same as 2-soft?

how would you go about turning a jordan 4 levi denim or jordan 6 denim to black denim color? do you just do layers of 2-soft and black 1:1 ratio until you get the shade of black you want? and is 4oz of the paint and 2-soft enough to do a pair of shoes?

If I paint + seal one of these, is it safe to put it in the washer/dryer?

Can you substitute 2-soft for a 1:1 ratio of GAC-900 on any color angelus paint?

Sick music and video

[@IAmRamoncitow]

awesome video i agree

[@silvastone1691]

I've seen videos where some people just apply the paint to the denim/jean material without the 2-soft. How does that effect the material when it's dry? for example, would the paint dry not as flexible and it'll crack and chip over time?

[@AngelusBrand]

Correct. First of all, 2 -Soft will help the paint stick and stay to fabrics. It helps allow the paint to adhere and wont chip crack and fade over time. Also, it will keeps the material soft and flexible. If you have any more questions feel free to contact us at [e-mail]

[@playertuo]

Does this use acrylic paint? good work

[@linklindsey5658]

Couldn't you use some type of spray for the base coat?

[@carinachapman8541]

Where can you buy a heat gun with 300°F? I want to start using Angelus paint, but I want to make sure I have everything I need before I buy it. And I can’t find a heat gun with that low of a temp…

[@introvertt.e]

[@diegolopez3434]

Emily Alana that's been over done to the point where I doubt any real artist will mess with that concept...

[@DatJoeGuy]

Love these videos! Would you need 2-soft for only using blank paint on denim? Thanks!

[@maisiejenner]

Joseph McGraw yeah

[@bellaella3218]

Can you use the Angelus paint on its own to pain on a denim jacket or do you need to mix it with the angelus 2 soft as well?

[@gabedestellano]

It will dry pretty hard and crack if you don't use 2 Soft.

[@kaos24684]

Can you use a hairdryer for the heat treatmentment or does it have to be a heat gun if so what wattage and what temperature?

[@AngelusBrand]

Yes! You are not limited to a heat gun. A hairdryer will definitely work as well. You'll definitely want to use the heat source of choice at a relatively low heat setting, nothing too hot, and keep it at a good distance.

[@anthonybombella2333]

How about painting Japanese waves

[@tokollgg2930]

Expand content about painting denim jackets.... and Nice For Denim Jacket Painting

[@thatonegamer2709]

Those final steps when you start to really add the colors you didnt add 2soft anymore....will those areas still be "soft" or will they dry out abit on the stiff side...?

[@AngelusBrand]

Some artists use 2-soft for the last layers and some do not. It is personal preference when it comes to that. However, as long as you apply 2-soft and paint first then you should not come out too stiff. You also want to make sure you do not apply too many coats if you do not use 2-soft for the remaining layers.

[@lateaciadwellingham1975]

So I just painted my jacket I just need to know what type of stuff that I can put on it to help with the paint not coming off.

[@AngelusBrand]

Adding 2-Soft to the paint is the most important part of painting denim and other fabrics. The paint should hold up and last without a problem. For some protection against water and dirt, try our Water and Stain Repellent.

[@VIVIANMUSICC]

I just bought a 2 soft bottle because I want to customize some shirts.... Do I really need the heatgun for it to work? Or can I also use a hair dryer?

[@AngelusBrand]

It's very important to heat set so as long as the hair dryer can reach 300º F for 3-5 minutes then it should be good.

[@kylaaelainee7767]

Is textile medium good to use for stiffness and longer lasting paints while using acrylic paint

[@AngelusBrand]

We recommend either using 2-Soft or GAC 900 fabric medium with Angelus Paints.

[@jackbailey6082]

After completely finishing painting and spraying the Jacket, is it okay to put through the wash one time?

[@AngelusBrand]

Yes. If you applied light layers of paint and 2-Soft then properly heat set for 3-5 minutes then the jacket should be pliable and ready for the laundry.

[@ebonyearl1540]

Possibly could I use acrylic finisher to seal my artwork if I don’t have the protection spray?

[@AngelusBrand]

The Finisher is not a sealant, it is not needed on fabric. Once the paint is dry, you are good to go.

[@doggo00654]

Can still be machine washable or will fall off?

[@smexylexxy5498]

Can you wash a pair of jeans after doing this exact process?

[@rushabhparikh4797]

Which colours are they called?

[@Ivy-yp4vt]

You didnt show it but is it recommended to iron the jacket for the paint to set in or is the coat enough? Im worried it would come off after washing

[@AngelusBrand]

There is no harm in that. Just make sure to have a towel or something in between so that you do not melt the paint or item.

[@JulsMendoza]

I’m working on my denim jacket, using 2 soft and angelus paint, I’ve seen people put them on the dryer machine after is all done maybe to make them softer??(when using the gag900) do you recommend putting in on the dryer machine after is all done to make it softer?? HELP PLEASE

[@AngelusBrand]

The reason they may be doing that is to heatset the paint/GAC 900. When working with a fabric medium like GAC 900 or our Angelus 2-Soft it is required to heatset to activate the medium to insure the paints will adhere and the fabrics doesn't harden. For best results, we suggest to Heat-set using a heatgun at 300º F for 3-5 minutes.

[@JulsMendoza]

Thank you!

[@vidhipatel9617]

What's the washing instructions for hand painted denim jackets? AND do you seal it with anything? THANK YUUUUU

[@AngelusBrand]

It should be safe to machine wash on cold or hand washing the jacket is fine too. As long as the paint was prepped and applied correctly with 2 Soft then you shouldn't have any issues. Applying our Water and Stain Repellent is a good way to protect the jacket and paint from any dirt and water. If you have any more questions feel free to contact us at [e-mail] angelusdirect.com/products/angelus-2-soft-fabric-medium angelusdirect.com/products/water-stain-repellent

[@selinyldz4217]

Can i use normal marker (not sharpies) for costumize my jacket? Cause i only have 2 sharpies and that not enough for me to drawing

[@AngelusBrand]

We recommend using Angelus Paint and 2-Soft when painting on any fabric materials. Check our Paint Pens and let us know if you have any questions. angelusdirect.com/products/angelus-empty-paint-marker-1?_pos=1&_sid=3ca112347&_ss=r

[@bluexd562]

While using 2-soft, is it a must to mix it with Angelus Paint, cant we use other branded paint?

[@AngelusBrand]

We cannot vouch for any other brand than ours. Please note, Angelus Paints utilize a flexible, self leveling, non-cracking formula that adheres to multiple surfaces such as leather, vinyl, patent leather, canvas and more when prepared properly.

[@monitionYT]

Bro, you look like Dawid Podsiadło from poland :P

[@jadenmccall4848]

If I am painting letters on my jean jacket, should I use 2 soft and paint the whole entire time, Or should I use 2 soft and paint for the first few layers and then use paint without the 2 soft.??

[@AngelusBrand]

It could depend on the color you're using and how well the surface is absorbing the paint. Most likely start with a god base coat with 2 Soft, heat set and then work up to just the paint itself to fill everything and give it the solid color.

[@MOONCAT666]

Im looking to move in from Pebeo setacolour but this is a pain to have to premix the paint, cant it kust come premixed as a separate range for cottons?

[@AngelusBrand]

Unfortunately not. Sorry about that.

[@luciastaylor4940]

Would angelus work on nylon?

[@neenabuxani7385]

what's the ratio of 2 soft and leather paint you use? How do you wash your brushes?

[@AngelusBrand]

Hi! The ratio should be 1:1 50% Leather Paint and 50% 2 Soft. You can simply use warm water with a little bit of dish soap. If you have any more questions feel free to contact us at [e-mail]

[@alize7913]

do you have to use 2 soft in order to wash it so the paint will not come off?

[@AngelusBrand]

It 's recommended to use 2 Soft for overall durability. This will allow the paint to adhere better and not fade after time.

[@ericclement1598]

I don’t have 2 thin I do have golden brand gac 900 fabric medium can I use that instead?

[@AngelusBrand]

Yes, 2 thin is used to thin Angelus Paints. 2 Soft or GAC 900 is what you will need for fabrics.

[@Gio-tg8qs]

do you use the heat gun after every "layer" or just on the first "coat" of 2 soft ?

[@AngelusBrand]

With this jacket, Bryan used the heat gun to heat set the white paint & 2 Soft base coat after every layer and again at the very end of the project. If you have any more questions feel free to contact us at [e-mail]

[@rhondeboutte2983]

Should I heat set between coats or should I heat set after it's a solid color

[@AngelusBrand]

Some people do both but as long as you heat set at the very end then you should be fine.

[@PrettyLanisha]

Can you heat set it with a heat press?

[@AngelusBrand]

Yes.

[@Nic_deanart]

Do we not have to use the deglazer before this or is that for mainly for shoes?

[@AngelusBrand]

No, not on fabrics.

[@SHELUVSD1A]

How do you wash this Jacket or any clothing that you painted without the paint coming off ?

[@AngelusBrand]

Angelus paint is waterproof and durable against wear and tear. It is safe to put in the washer but if you're still hesitant, then you can hand wash with any cleaner.

[@KarinaMartinez-mu8om]

Painting a jean jacket for my daughter...wanting to add glitter...how do you recommend me to seal glitter on top of the paint.

[@camifermatamala]

Angelus sell a glitter paint called Glitterlites, they don't needa seal because it has some type of glue in it, i use it on canvas Vans like 2 years ago & they are still like the first day, didnt crack or anything so i'm sure you can use it on a denim jacket too :)

[@hollychilds26]

I dont have a heat gun so can I put my jacket in the oven to cure it. Also could you recommend a cheap and and more expensive heat gun to invest in.

[@AngelusBrand]

We wouldn't suggest putting the jacket in the oven. You can find inexpensive heat guns online, your local hardware store or here: angelusdirect.com/products/heat-gun If you have any more questions feel free to contact us at [e-mail]

how do you wash off the paint if you make mistakes while you are customizing

You may not be able to wash the paint off if it's been applied to fabrics. For leather, either wipe it off if it hasn't dried or use acetone. If you have any more questions feel free to contact us at [e-mail]

What if you dont have a heat gun? Can you use an iron on the other side of the jacket(where you painted)?

This depends on the material, and you. Finishers are for sheen, 4-Coats are considered a light sealant and the Water and Stain Repellent is just that. Nothing more.

Hi there. Here are the steps to properly using either Fabric Mediums. Where you able to heat set once the paint was applied? Mix Angelus 2-Soft/GAC 900 with Angelus Acrylic Paints in a 1:1 ratio.Apply multiple coats until you obtain full and even coverage.Allow paint to completely dry.Heat-set using a heatgun at 300º F for 3-5 minutes (this step is REQUIRED).
