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?

[@arsenichell]

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?

I literally just finished painting my denim jacket two days ago using Angelus paint.

[@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]

[@alicegaudio1568]

Hi Bryan!!!I'm an Italian girl! Sorry.... But If I want to paint a cotton t-shirt, what products should I use to avoid discoloring with washing? Thanks!!!!!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@keandrejones7040]

Great! Chad would of killed it to

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@zhaoyingli9698]

Hi there, it looks great, love it!! Is it washable?

[@AngelusBrand]

Yes it is! Our paint is durable and waterproof.

[@gabbipaulo]

Do you use the heat gun in between each layer of paint?

[@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.

[@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.

[@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…

[@weiurdgurl]

what were the songs played in this video @Angelus Shoe Polish

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@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]

[@steps8680]

Maybe another jacket but DBZ inspired or customize a pair of vapormax??

[@Nic_deanart]

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

[@AngelusBrand]

No, not on 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]

[@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]

[@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 :)

[@J0RDN999]

But can the paint withstand the washing machine and the drying machine?

[@BluskidooYouCanToo]

ICE BEAR Well you shouldn’t be washing a raw denim jacket too often first of all

[@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.

[@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.

[@rushabhparikh4797]

Which colours are they called?

[@kangweing9590]

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

[@AngelusBrand]

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]

[@brandino2325]

will normal acrylic paint crack if you wash it ?

[@manofbudinezz45d.e.v30]

@@brandino2325 No it wont crack. Eventually it will fade a bit just like a t-shirt from a store. But it definitely wont crack. I have plenty of items I've made and washed them repeatedly and they look exactly the same as when I created them. There really is no such thing as a permanent stay. But there's much you can do to make the quality last alot long. This video has great techniques. Yet theres absolutely no need to waste your leather paint on jeans or jacket. Now if it were a leather jacket. I probably would use this method. For common clothing this is very much unnecessary. Give it try with both ways. His and mine. The results will be good regardless. The method shown on this video would be more interesting to test out, but not so much to say its a better way of getting the job done. Feel free to ask me more G.

[@tsmith4988]

Dee Pee I’ll ask because I’m very interested in painting my own jeans, possibly jackets. I figured I’d need to buy fabric paint, but you say I can just use acrylic? (Unless fabric is the same kind- I don’t know much, really) Any particular brand or method? And what should be done after painting to preserve the results as long as possible? How long have your designs lasted?

[@michelletrotter8758]

@@brandino2325 If you use thick layers or too may layers the more likely it will crack. When using angelus paints compared to normal acrylic I can see the difference. The angelus paint is more flexible and the reason why it lasts longer. I paint more on leather jackets now but always use angelus because I want to give my customers the best product. And I have seen normal acrylic paint to crack.

[@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.

[@brittanyhartfield7319]

Do you have to use 2 soft while painting?

If you're painting on soft fabric materials, 2- soft is necessary to keep the material soft and flexible.

[@activedevil8570]

Can u use blow dryer as an alternative.. ?

[@AngelusBrand]

A blow dryer may be used to speed up the drying time. However, to properly heat set 2 Soft we recommend using a heat gun. To properly Heat-set, use a heatgun at 300º F for 3-5 minutes (this step is REQUIRED)

[@edgarhenriquez4713]

Can you use the paint for a windbreaker?

Yes but it may be something you will need to test and experiment with first. When you are working with that Fabric material you can mix our paint with our Angelus 2-soft fabric medium.

Yes, our paints will work on Starbucks cups. For prep, We suggest light sanding and then cleaning the area with our Leather Preparer and Deglazer first. We also provide a product called 2-Hard. When mixed with Angelus Acrylic Paints, 2 Hard will allow the paint to adhere to non-porous surfaces such as plastic or glass.
