Troubleshooting
Paint is not adhering well to a surface.
Ensure the surface is completely clean, dry, and free of any oils or dust. For challenging surfaces like certain plastics, a light sanding or a specialized plastic primer might be beneficial, though this paint is designed to adhere without it.
Uneven or streaky finish after drying.
Apply paint in thin, even coats. Ensure your brush is loaded properly and use smooth, consistent strokes. Allow adequate drying time between coats. Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use.
Paint is too thick to brush easily.
Stir the paint well. If necessary, add a very small amount of water (no more than 5% by volume) to achieve desired consistency. Over-diluting can affect durability.
Painted item chips or scratches easily.
Ensure the item has been allowed to cure fully for 72 hours after the final coat. The paint achieves its maximum hardness and durability during this period. Avoid subjecting the item to heavy use or cleaning before it is fully cured.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No primer or varnish is required for most surfaces. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of grease or dust before application. For porous surfaces like unglazed ceramic or terra cotta, a single coat is usually sufficient for adhesion, but two coats will enhance durability. For non-porous surfaces like glass or plastic, ensure thorough cleaning and drying. Two coats are generally recommended for optimal coverage and durability.
Compatibility: This paint is compatible with a wide array of household and craft materials, including wood, ceramic, terracotta, most plastics, paper, metal, masonry, glass, china, porcelain, Styrofoam, canvas, fabric, papier mache, and stone. It is designed for indoor and outdoor use.
Care: Allow paint to dry to the touch between coats (typically 1-2 hours). For full hardness and resistance to cleaning chemicals, allow the painted item to cure for 72 hours (3 days) after the final coat. During this curing period, avoid harsh cleaning or prolonged exposure to moisture. After curing, clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrub brushes, especially on delicate surfaces.
