How well does it work on blends - eg, Cotton/Polyester?

I have used it on all my husband's shirts and I can not tell any difference with any of them . It works great and we live in AZ so gets lots of sunshine to block.

I have been using this product for almost two years now. I wash all types of fabric and so far my husband has not had skin cancer breakouts and he wears all his treated shirts on the golf course, playing 18 holes twice a week.

This is hard to answer. The application is ingenious since it can be applied in the wash. I have added it to the clothes I wearand never could imagine it not working on Blends. My best guess is to ask the company that produces the product.

I have used it on multiple textiles with no problem. I would advise that any iron will make a shine on certain fabrics, so to be certain, test a small piece first. I always keep a roll of parchment paper with my ironing board, to put between iron and fabric, because I don't always follow my own advice, and just want to get going. That paper has saved me some heartaches, especially if I have set my iron too hot for that particular fabric without realizing.

I tried in a polyester suede jacket and it worked fine for the first time, but second time the collar and scuff were lightly soiled and although I followed all the instructions it couldn't remove all the dirt, since polyester and soil have affinity it needs a stronger agent like water or perc. I recommend hand wash and hang to dry or dry cleaning with hydrocarbon, a modern solvent more delicate and eco friendly. FYI I am a laundry owner.

I have never tried this product on a Cotton Fabric, but I would certainly not guarantee that it would. So far, after using two different Products of Scotch Guard, I think I would try a Product named CAMP DRY. James L. Powell.

It has worked for me on some microfiber clothing. I even use this as a stain remover for certain types of stains.

I haven't tried it but if you get the product Terial Magic and use that to stiffen the fabric before cutting, it should work. I've been using that stiffener for felt and cotton and it works great.

It needs to be 100% cotton or it will turn out very pale, depending on the blend. But 100% cotton is the way to go.

My project was on a cotton t-shirt and has faded with washing. Polyester probably will be a little different but to make it as colorfast as you can, I would advise pressing with a warm iron before washing. Also when using dye, it helps make items colorfast to soak in vinegar and let dry before use or washing. Good luck!

I have used it on sofa chairs and fabric car seats and have been very impressed. It's worth a try.

Yes, I have applied it many times to shirts and even cotton tops and after washing it stays in place.

I have only used this machine on lightweight cottons so far. You may have to adjust the tension if your jeans are very heavy.

I have found it to be the same as using a regular iron. For cotton, use the high setting; if polyester you may try the middle setting first. I always use steam, it seems to add to the quality of the ironing job. I think you'll be happy with it.

I have used it on fleece sweatshirts and tshirts, with a commercial heat press, and after a few washes, it does crack some without a lot of stretching so I would predict that it will crack on a stretchy material fairly quickly.

I imagine the issue would be the softness of the cotton velvet, since the wax is applied by rubbing across the surface. A rough or textured fabric helps it break and spread... That said, if you can get it onto the material, it should probably perform the way it's supposed to.

I've used it on a multitude of different fabrics & so far no noticeable discoloration.

I have only used it on Sunbrella marine fabrics. It works amazingly well for that application.
