Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure your chosen surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or loose particles. For non-porous surfaces like metal or glazed ceramic, a light sanding or priming may improve adhesion. For porous surfaces like raw wood or unglazed pottery, a primer is recommended.
Compatibility: DecoArt Americana Acrylic Paints are compatible with most standard art and craft surfaces, including wood, canvas, paper, fabric (test for flexibility), metal, ceramic, glass (non-food contact surfaces), Styrofoam, and plastic models. They are also compatible with DecoArt mediums and varnishes for extended creative options.
Care:
- Cleaning Tools: Wash brushes, palettes, and other tools with soap and water immediately after use while the paint is still wet.
- Cleaning Surfaces: To clean painted surfaces, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing, especially on less durable surfaces.
- Storage: Store paint containers tightly sealed in a cool, dry place away from extreme temperatures. Avoid freezing.
