Can you use Unicorn Spit on fabric?

Janet Pizaro on Nov 20, 2015As far as I know this is a new process that is used for wood. It is a gel stain and sealer in one.Helpful Reply

Somewhat Quirky on Nov 21, 2015I wouldn't. Just because it IS a gel stain, and I wouldn't use gel (or regular) stain on fabric. I would stick with paint. Of course you could do a sample on a piece of scrap fabric and see what you think.Helpful Reply

Roberta on Nov 21, 2015There are paints made especially for fabric. Usually the craft paint has an additive that you can add to the paint, to make it okay to use on fabric. The gel stain is not for fabric, and may seep out beyond the intended drawing, wasting your fabric. I agree with the lady's suggestion, to try a small area first, if you insist on using the gel stain.Helpful Reply

Gigilambert on Nov 22, 2015You could probably put a sealer on the drop cloth to keep the stain from bleeding. Otherwise it would probably be like painting a water color. Could be pretty to see where the stain ran. Do a couple different test then post them for us to see.Helpful Reply

Lela on Nov 22, 2015I agree that you should test it first, but as long as you don't plan to ever wash it, why not ?Helpful Reply
