How do I clean my brushes after using this paint?

Clean your brushes and any other tools immediately after use with soap and water. Dried paint can be difficult to remove.

How long does it take for the paint to fully cure?

Can I make items painted with this product dishwasher-safe?

Yes, for compatible surfaces like ceramics and glass, you can achieve a dishwasher-safe finish by baking the item. Follow the specific baking instructions carefully.

Is this paint suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, when properly applied and fully cured, the paint provides a durable finish that can withstand some outdoor elements. For extended exposure, consider applying a clear topcoat designed for outdoor use.

What does 'Multi-Surface Satin' mean?

'Multi-Surface' indicates its ability to adhere to many different types of materials. 'Satin' refers to the smooth, slightly reflective finish the paint provides once dry.

Is this paint safe to use for food-related items?

While the paint can be made dishwasher-safe, it is not considered food-safe. Avoid direct contact with food surfaces. It is suitable for decorative exterior surfaces of dishes or mugs.

Troubleshooting

Paint is too thick or streaky

Stir the paint gently. If still too thick, add a very small amount of water (less than 5%) and mix well. Ensure your brush is suitable for acrylic paint and that you are applying thin, even coats.

Poor adhesion on a surface

Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and dried before painting. For non-porous surfaces like glass or plastic, try lightly sanding the surface before application or using a compatible primer. Allow adequate drying and curing time.

Colors do not appear vibrant

Ensure the paint is well-mixed. For darker or slick surfaces, apply a coat of white primer or a light-colored base coat before applying the colored paint. Apply multiple thin coats rather than one thick coat.

Paint remains tacky after drying

This can occur in high humidity or if applied too thickly. Ensure good ventilation and allow more time for drying. Avoid touching the surface until it is fully dry. Do not recoat until the previous layer is completely dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the surface to be painted is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or wax. Lightly sanding non-porous surfaces like glass or metal can improve adhesion. Stir paint thoroughly before use; do not shake. Apply with a quality brush, foam brush, or other desired applicator.

Compatibility: This paint is compatible with a vast range of porous and non-porous surfaces including wood, canvas, metal, terra cotta, paper, ceramics, glass, fabric, masonry, Styrofoam, and most plastics. For best results on very slick surfaces like plastic or glass, a primer or light sanding is recommended.

Care: Clean brushes and tools immediately after use with soap and water. Allow the paint to dry to the touch within 1-2 hours. For full cure and maximum durability, allow 72 hours of drying time. For dishwasher-safe results on compatible items (ceramics, glass), bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30 minutes after a 24-hour drying period. Let cool completely in the oven before handling.
