FAQs

Are these refills compatible with non-HIMI palettes?

These refills are specifically designed to fit into HIMI Jelly Cup or Twin Cup housing systems and may not be compatible with other brands.

Is this paint permanent once dry?

No, gouache is a water-soluble medium and can be reactivated with water even after it has dried.

Can I mix this white with other brands of gouache?

Yes, HIMI gouache is generally compatible with other water-based gouache brands, though mixing may slightly alter the final finish.

How should I store these if I don't use them all at once?

Keep the refills sealed in their original packaging or inside an airtight container until you are ready to use them to prevent premature drying.

Is this paint safe for children?

Yes, the paint is non-toxic, though it is intended for artistic use and should not be ingested.

Can I use this for watercolor techniques?

Yes, you can dilute the gouache with significant amounts of water to achieve a semi-transparent, watercolor-like effect.

Troubleshooting

Paint feels too dry or hard in the cup

Add a small amount of clean water to the cup and let it sit for a few minutes to reactivate the binder.

Paint is not snapping into the palette tray

Ensure the slot in your palette case is free of dried paint debris or obstructions before snapping the refill into place.

Visible streaking during application

Ensure your brush is clean and slightly damp; if the paint is too thick, incorporate a small amount of water on your palette before applying to the paper.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Perfect for replenishing the most used color in any gouache set
  • Excellent opacity and smooth consistency
  • Compatible with existing HIMI jelly cup systems
  • Non-toxic and easy to clean

Cons

  • Requires existing HIMI palette case for optimal storage
  • Only available in Titanium White
  • May dry out if the sealing lid is not closed tightly

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To integrate these refills, simply pop the empty cup out of your existing HIMI tray and snap the new 30ml cup into the vacant slot.

Care Instructions:

  • Storage: Always ensure the primary lid of your HIMI set is closed tight after use to prevent the paint from drying out completely.
  • Maintenance: If the paint develops a dry skin, add 1-2 drops of water to the cup, let it sit for a few minutes, and stir gently to restore its original creamy state.
  • Clean-up: Use warm water and mild soap to remove any residue from your brushes or hands.
