Troubleshooting
Paint appears too thick or clumpy
Gently stir the paint with a clean tool. If still too thick, a few drops of water can be added and mixed thoroughly. Ensure the bottle was properly sealed to prevent drying.
Color is not as vibrant as expected
Ensure the paint is applied to a suitable surface like paper or cardboard. Apply a second coat once the first layer is dry for increased opacity and vibrancy.
Paint has dried out in the bottle
Try adding a small amount of water and stirring vigorously. If a significant portion has dried, it may be difficult to fully rehydrate.
Stains on clothing are difficult to remove
Soak the stained area in cool water and use a laundry pre-treater before washing in a machine at 40°C or higher. Prompt cleaning yields the best results.
