FAQs

Is this paint safe for nursery furniture?

Yes, it meets strict safety standards for use on wooden and plastic toys, making it an excellent choice for nurseries.

Can I use this paint in the bathroom?

Yes, but for better protection against moisture and high humidity, we recommend sealing the final coat with Hemway Clear Lacquer.

How long does it take to dry?

You should allow 2 hours of drying time between coats to achieve the best results.

Does this paint contain harsh solvents?

No, it is a water-based, solvent-free, and non-toxic formula with low VOCs.

Is it suitable for high-traffic areas?

It is durable, but for areas subject to heavy wear, applying a protective clear lacquer is recommended to extend the life of the finish.

What tools should I use to apply the paint?

A high-quality synthetic brush or a short-pile roller works best for a smooth, even matt finish.

Troubleshooting

Visible brush marks or uneven texture

Ensure you are using a high-quality synthetic brush and avoid over-working the paint. Apply in long, consistent strokes.

Paint peeling or bubbling

This is usually caused by applying paint to a dirty or greasy surface. Clean the substrate thoroughly and allow it to dry completely before reapplying.

Color variation between areas

Ensure the paint is thoroughly stirred from the bottom of the can before use to distribute pigments evenly. Always finish a wall section in one continuous session.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent coverage due to high pigment density
  • Non-toxic and low VOC for safer application
  • Resistant to yellowing and fading
  • Safe for use on children's toys
  • Wide range of surface compatibility

Cons

  • Requires additional lacquer for high-traffic areas
  • Longer drying time required between coats
  • Limited to matt finish only

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting, ensure that the target surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. If painting over glossy surfaces, a light sanding is recommended to improve adhesion. Apply the paint using a high-quality synthetic brush or a short-pile roller for the best finish.

Wait at least 2 hours between coats to ensure the acrylic resin has cured sufficiently; applying subsequent coats too soon may result in streaks. For cleanup, simply wash brushes and rollers with warm, soapy water while the paint is still wet, as the formula is water-based. Store the container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the remaining paint.
