FAQs
Is this paint safe for children?
The paint is non-toxic, but it is generally recommended for supervised craft use to ensure it is used for its intended decorative purpose.
Can I use this on fabric?
This product is designed for rigid or porous surfaces like wood, canvas, and ceramics. It is not intended for use on washable fabric.
How long does it take to dry?
Drying times vary based on ambient humidity and the thickness of the application, but it typically dries to the touch within a few hours.
Does it require a sealer?
While the paint is durable for decorative items, you can apply a clear acrylic sealer over the top if the project will be handled frequently.
Can I thin the paint with water?
A very small amount of water can be used to thin the paint if it thickens, but adding too much will reduce the glitter density.
Troubleshooting
Glitter appears clumped on the surface
Ensure you are using a soft-bristled brush and work the paint in thin, even strokes rather than piling it on in one spot.
Paint is not adhering to the surface
Clean the surface thoroughly to remove any dust or grease and ensure the surface is porous; on very smooth plastics, you may need a primer first.
The glitter finish looks too subtle
Apply additional thin coats, allowing each layer to dry fully before adding the next to build up the desired level of shimmer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure your workspace is protected, although cleanup is easy if you act while the paint is wet. Shake the bottle well before use to redistribute the glitter particles. For best results, use a clean synthetic brush for application. If you are painting on smooth, non-porous surfaces like plastic or glass, ensure the surface is clean and free of oils or dust to promote better adhesion. Cleanup is straightforward: simply wash brushes and any spills with warm soap and water immediately after use. Always recap the bottle tightly to prevent the product from drying out.
