Q: Whenever i make salad the lettuce wilts too quickly. Will this help?

Heavens to Betsy! For a few minutes there I was thinking "salad and wilted lettuce" were some new artsy Jargon I'd never heard about.

Q: Anyone used this on fabric/textile? I want to spray paint a round ottoman. If so, what were your results?

I used it on fabric (beige microfiber upholstery). The color came out less purple and much lighter than the cap even after 3 coats. It was more of a burgundy or merlot shade. The texture afterwards was rougher --similar to painted canvas. Nonetheless, I was very pleased with the results. It didn't rub off and the texture has begun to soften.

Q: I spray painted some plastic and metal but when it drys, the paint get chip off easly. How can i fix this problem??

Unfortunately, you will probably have to start over. The paint may not have adhered well. You can't really fix this...strip the paint (which won't take long if it is already coming off) and clean the object. CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN. The sand it. Use fairly fine sandpaper-you don't want scratches, but the paint needs something to hold on to. Paint and let it SIT for several days. You can then seal with polyurethane and let it sit a couple more days. Don't fall for those DIY TV shows that promise everything can be done in an afternoon! Doesn't work that way. Give the project time to "set" before you use it. And think about what you are using it for-if it is going to be subject to a lot of handling, maybe paint isn't the way to go. I have decoupaged (modge podge colorful papers and finish with sealer) many plastic items. Obviously not the best choice for outside use. just a thought.
