Troubleshooting
Paint appears streaky upon application
The paint is likely too thick. Thin it with a small amount of water on your palette and apply in two thin layers instead of one thick one.
Paint has dried out in the pot
Acrylic paints that have fully hardened cannot be revived. To prevent this, always ensure the lid seal is free of dried paint and clicks shut completely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure your miniature is primed with an appropriate hobby primer. Shake the pot vigorously for at least 30 seconds to ensure the pigment is properly distributed. Always dispense a small amount onto a wet palette rather than dipping your brush directly into the pot to prevent cross-contamination. After use, ensure the lid is snapped firmly shut to prevent the acrylic binder from evaporating. If the paint becomes thick, add a tiny drop of clean water; do not store the pot in extreme heat or direct sunlight.
