Hi all. I got pretty excited when I read some of the crayon posts, because almost every week I run into spots of some kind on auto seats or carpet. Yesterday I gave the crayons a trial shot for heat-set fabric color repair. I had some dried water base paint-spot spills on my work clothes, so I thought that might be a good start to see what it would do. After applying the crayon colors on the stains and getting it to look as hidden as possible, I then tried ironing through a clean towel. That kept bleeding back, so I then tried a hair dryer. That seemed to keep the coverage on as it set, though darkening some. But then when I used a fingernail test to see if it truly set in, it quite easily scraped off.
So the question is "Was I doing something wrong, or is it just because it won't work over dried paint or on a smooth material such as pants or shirt?" Thanks in advance for your answers.
