Can I use this paint outdoors?

Is this paint safe for children's furniture?

How do I clean my painted surface?
Clean the painted surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
What kind of sheen does this paint have?

Troubleshooting
Paint is too thick or stringy.
Stir thoroughly. If still too thick, a very small amount of water (max 10%) can be added, but this may affect the finish or drying time.
Uneven finish or brush marks visible.
Ensure even application with consistent strokes. Use a high-quality brush or foam roller. Apply thinner coats rather than one thick coat.
Paint is not adhering well.
Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and degreased before application. For very glossy surfaces, a light scuff-sand may be necessary.
Slow drying time.
Ensure application is within recommended temperature and humidity levels. Avoid applying too thickly.
