FAQs
Does Unicorn SPiT require a primer?
Generally, no. It is designed to work directly on most surfaces, though light sanding on wood is recommended.
Can I use this product outdoors?
It is primarily for indoor use. If used outdoors, it must be sealed with a high-quality, weather-resistant exterior top coat.
Is the finish matte or glossy?
The finish depends on the top coat you choose; the gel itself will typically have a satin-like appearance when dry.
Can I mix different colors together?
Yes, Unicorn SPiT colors can be mixed to create custom shades and blended while wet.
How long does it take to dry?
Drying time depends on the thickness of the layer and humidity, but generally, it is touch-dry within a few hours.
What happens if I get it on my skin?
Because it is highly pigmented, wash with warm soap and water immediately. It is safe to use but may leave temporary color on the skin.
Troubleshooting
The stain is wiping away when I apply a top coat.
Ensure the Unicorn SPiT is 100% dry before sealing. Use a spray-on top coat for the first few light layers to avoid reactivating the underlying stain.
The color looks too light on the surface.
Apply additional coats once the first layer has dried completely or use the product in a more concentrated, undiluted form.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting, ensure your workspace is protected from spills. While the product is water-based, it is highly pigmented and can stain skin or clothing. Prepare your surfaces by cleaning them thoroughly; for wood, light sanding will improve absorption. Apply the product using a brush, sponge, or your fingers for controlled blending. Once your project is completely dry, you must apply a water-based top coat to seal the finish. This is critical for preventing the stain from reactivating if exposed to liquid or high-humidity environments.
