Product Information
Full details
The Cadence Relief Paste in Silver is designed for crafters and DIY enthusiasts looking to add unique, dimensional textures and raised patterns to hard surfaces. Its key benefit is the ease of creating professional-looking decorative effects using stencils. A potential consideration is that it's specifically formulated for hard surfaces and may not adhere well to flexible or porous materials without proper priming.

FAQs
Can this paste be painted over?
Yes, once fully dry, the Cadence Relief Paste can be painted over with most acrylic paints or other water-based craft paints.
How long does it take to dry?
Drying time varies based on application thickness and environmental conditions. A thin layer may dry in 30-60 minutes, while thicker applications can take several hours.
Can I use this on fabric?
This paste is primarily designed for hard surfaces. For fabric, it's recommended to test adhesion on a scrap piece first or use a fabric medium if available.
What is the best way to apply it for detailed designs?
Use a stencil and a palette knife or a stiff stencil brush. Apply the paste smoothly over the stencil openings, scraping away excess carefully to maintain sharp edges.
Is the silver finish matte or glossy?
The paste provides a metallic finish, which typically has a subtle sheen. It is not intended to be a high-gloss finish but rather a metallic texture.
How should I store the leftover paste?
Keep the lid tightly sealed and store the jar in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. This helps prevent the paste from drying out.
Troubleshooting
Paste is too thick or dry in the jar
Add a few drops of water and mix thoroughly. If excessively dry, a small amount of acrylic medium can help restore consistency.
Paste cracked after drying
This can occur with very thick applications. Apply in thinner layers, allowing each layer to partially dry before applying the next, or reduce the overall thickness.
Poor adhesion to the surface
Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and dry before application. Consider using a primer or sealant on the surface beforehand.
Stencil design bled or smeared
Ensure the stencil is securely adhered to the surface. Apply paste with a flat tool (like a palette knife) rather than a brush to avoid pushing paste under the stencil edges. Clean off excess paste carefully.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease before application. For optimal adhesion on challenging surfaces, consider priming with a suitable sealant or primer. Use a palette knife or stencil brush to load the paste onto your stencil. Apply the paste evenly over the stencil openings, working from the center outwards to avoid gaps. Scrape off excess paste gently.
Compatibility: This paste is formulated for use on hard, non-porous surfaces such as wood, glass, ceramic, metal, and primed canvas. It may not adhere well to flexible materials, untreated porous surfaces, or fabrics without appropriate surface preparation.
Care: Allow the applied paste to dry completely. Drying time can range from 30 minutes to several hours depending on the thickness of the application and ambient humidity. Once dry, the finish is durable. Clean tools immediately after use with soap and water. Store the paste in its original jar with the lid tightly sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. While water-resistant once fully cured, prolonged exposure to moisture is not recommended.
