FAQs
Can I mix Cadence Hybrid Acrylic Paint with other paint types?
It is best to mix Cadence Hybrid Acrylic Paint only with other water-based acrylic paints to maintain its formulation and performance. Mixing with oil-based paints or other solvent-based mediums is not recommended.
How long does the paint take to dry?
The paint typically dries to the touch within 30-60 minutes. However, it requires a longer curing time of 24-72 hours to reach its maximum hardness and durability.
Is this paint suitable for outdoor use?
While the paint creates a durable finish, it is primarily designed for indoor craft and decorative use. For extended outdoor exposure, especially to harsh weather conditions, it is recommended to apply a protective topcoat sealant.
How can I achieve different finishes (e.g., matte, gloss)?
The Cadence Hybrid Acrylic Paint has a natural matte finish. To achieve a gloss finish, you can apply a clear gloss varnish or sealant over the dried acrylic paint layer.
What is the shelf life of the paint?
When stored properly in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed, the paint typically has a shelf life of 2-3 years.
Can I use this paint on fabric for clothing?
Yes, you can use it on fabric for crafts and decorative items. For clothing that will be frequently washed, ensure thorough drying and curing, and consider using a fabric medium or a specific fabric paint for maximum washability.
Troubleshooting
Paint is too thick or clumpy.
If the paint is slightly thick, add a tiny amount of water (a few drops) and stir gently. If it's significantly clumpy, the paint may have dried out or been contaminated. Check the expiration date if applicable, or consider replacing the product.
Paint is not adhering well to the surface.
Ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned and dry. For challenging surfaces like glass or certain plastics, consider pre-treating with a primer or lightly sanding the surface before painting.
Uneven color or streaking after drying.
This usually indicates insufficient paint application or uneven brush strokes. Apply a second thin coat after the first has dried, using consistent brush strokes. Ensure you are using enough paint to cover the surface adequately.
Paint is peeling or chipping after a short period.
The paint may not have been allowed to cure fully. Ensure adequate drying and curing time (up to 72 hours for full hardness) before exposing the painted item to heavy use or moisture. Also, verify surface preparation was adequate.
Pros and Cons

- Provides high coverage, reducing the need for multiple coats.
- Easy to clean up with water while wet.
- Durable finish for lasting results.
- Low odor and water-based formulation for safer indoor use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No specific setup is required. Ensure the surface to be painted is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or any loose material. For optimal adhesion on very slick surfaces (like glass or high-gloss plastic), a light sanding or the application of a specialized primer is recommended.
Compatibility: This hybrid acrylic paint is compatible with most porous and non-porous surfaces including wood, MDF, canvas, paper, cardboard, metal, ceramic, terracotta, plaster, stone, and some plastics and treated fabrics. It can be mixed with other water-based acrylic paints for custom colors.
Care: Clean brushes, palettes, and spills immediately after use with soap and water. Once the paint is fully dry and cured (typically 24-72 hours for maximum durability), it becomes water-resistant. For cleaning painted surfaces, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing to maintain the paint's integrity.
