FAQs
Do I really need to sand or prime before using Fusion Mineral Paint?
For most surfaces like raw wood or previously painted items, sanding and priming are not required. However, on very slick or glossy surfaces, a light scuff sand or a gripping primer can improve adhesion.
How many coats of Fusion Mineral Paint are typically needed?
This depends on the surface and desired coverage. Generally, 2-3 thin coats provide excellent color depth and durability. Some lighter colors or darker undertones may require more coats.
What is the best way to clean painted surfaces?
Use a soft, damp cloth for regular cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh scrubbing, especially before the paint has fully cured.
How long does Fusion Mineral Paint take to dry and cure?
The paint is typically dry to the touch within 2 hours. However, it needs approximately 21-28 days to fully cure and achieve maximum hardness and durability.
Can Fusion Mineral Paint be used on countertops or floors?
While durable, Fusion Mineral Paint is best suited for furniture and decor. For high-traffic areas like countertops or floors, it is recommended to use a durable topcoat or specialized flooring paint for extended protection.
What is the VOC content of Fusion Mineral Paint?
Fusion Mineral Paint is a low-VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) formula, making it a more environmentally conscious choice.
How should I store leftover paint?
Ensure the lid is sealed tightly to prevent air exposure. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and freezing temperatures. Properly stored, it can last for several years.
Troubleshooting
Paint appears streaky or uneven
Apply paint in thin, even coats. Use a high-quality brush or roller and maintain a wet edge. Ensure paint is stirred well and not applied too thickly. Allow adequate drying time between coats.
Paint is not adhering well
Ensure the surface is clean and free of contaminants like grease or wax. For very slick surfaces (like melamine or high-gloss paint), a light scuff sand or a specialized gripping primer may be necessary.
Color is not opaque after multiple coats
While coverage is good, very dark or contrasting undertones might require additional thin coats. Ensure each coat is applied evenly and allowed to dry fully before applying the next.
Finish feels tacky after several days
This may indicate insufficient drying/curing time, especially in humid conditions. Ensure good ventilation and allow more time for the paint to cure fully. Avoid heavy use until cured.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure your surface is clean and free of dust, grease, or wax. While no sanding or priming is *required*, a light scuff sand can improve adhesion on glossy surfaces. Stir the paint thoroughly before use.
Compatibility: Fusion Mineral Paint adheres well to wood, laminate, metal, glass, ceramic, and previously painted or varnished surfaces. It is not recommended for use on fabrics or exteriors that will be constantly exposed to the elements without proper sealing.
Care: Allow the paint to cure fully (typically 21-28 days) for maximum durability. Clean surfaces gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing, as this can damage the matte finish. For high-traffic areas or surfaces requiring more robust protection, consider applying a furniture wax or a clear topcoat after the paint has fully cured.
