FAQs
Can I use Pebeo Bindex with oil paints?
No, this product is specifically formulated for water-based acrylic paints and is not compatible with oil-based media.
Is this binder toxic?
Pebeo Studio Bindex is vegan-friendly and conforms to standard safety practices, but it is always recommended to work in a well-ventilated area.
How long does it take to dry?
Drying time depends on the thickness of the application and ambient humidity, typically ranging from a few hours to overnight.
Can I use this for decoupage?
Yes, its adhesive properties and clear finish make it an excellent choice for decoupage on various surfaces.
Will it change the color of my acrylics?
It may slightly deepen the saturation of your colors, but because it is non-yellowing and translucent, it will not change the hue.
Do I need to thin it with water?
You do not need to thin it, though you can add a small amount of water if you prefer a lower viscosity for specific glazing techniques.
Troubleshooting
Medium remains tacky after several hours
High humidity or thick application can slow curing; move the project to a drier, well-ventilated area or use a fan to increase airflow.
Brushes are stiff after use
Soak the affected brushes in warm water with a gentle brush cleaner or dish soap to break down the acrylic polymer.
Surface appears cloudy after drying
This usually indicates the layer was applied too thick. For future projects, apply in several thinner layers, allowing each to dry fully.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results, ensure your application surfaces are clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. You can apply Bindex directly using a brush or palette knife depending on the desired texture. For cleaning, use soapy water to wash your brushes immediately after use to prevent the acrylic polymers from setting on the bristles. Store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and always ensure the cap is tightened securely to prevent the medium from drying out in the container.
