its still cheaper than a new cushion btw! tip: i found the best way to use it was to spray continuously. whenever i stopped and then when i started back up i got some splatters which i then had to rub into the fabric to fix (which required stopping and starting again-eventually i learned to stop and start away from the
cushion!) works for sun-faded cushions as well. the secret is krylon burgundy and krylon cherry red. 8. diy your own curtain rods by spray painting electrical conduit from the hardware store. bless the person that invented this light weight, sturdy, and extremely inexpensive product!
