Product Information

Full details

Unicorn SPiT is a versatile, jasmine-scented, water-based product designed for DIY enthusiasts, furniture upcyclers, and crafters who need a hybrid stain, paint, and glaze. It excels at delivering rich, multi-dimensional color saturation on surfaces ranging from wood to glass and metal, offering extended open time for professional-grade blending. Note that while it is highly effective as a decorative medium, it requires a water-based top coat to ensure durability and protection on surfaces subject to heavy wear.

FAQs

Can I use Unicorn SPiT on fabric?

Yes, it can be used on fabric, though it will feel stiffer than traditional fabric paints. Always test on a scrap piece first.

Do I need to sand wood before applying?

Sanding is highly recommended if you want the product to penetrate the grain of the wood, especially if the piece has a previous factory finish.

Is this product waterproof?

No, it is water-soluble. It must be sealed with a water-based top coat to become water-resistant.

Can I mix colors?

Yes, Unicorn SPiT colors can be blended together to create custom shades and gradients.

What is the best way to clean my brushes?

Since it is water-based, simply rinse your brushes with warm water and mild soap immediately after use.

Can I use this outdoors?

It is primarily designed for indoor use. If used outdoors, it must be protected by a high-quality, UV-resistant exterior sealer.

Troubleshooting

The color is not sticking to the surface

Ensure the surface is properly prepped and free of wax or polish residue. If applying to glass, ensure it is thoroughly cleaned with alcohol first.

The finish looks streaky

Add a small amount of water to the product to improve flow or use a higher-quality synthetic brush to distribute the gel more evenly.

The product is reactivating when applying top coat

Wait for the product to be fully cured (24+ hours). Use a spray-on water-based top coat rather than a brush-on version to avoid smearing the color.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely versatile across many different materials
  • Long open time makes blending and layering effortless
  • Easy to clean up with water
  • Non-toxic smell due to jasmine infusion

Cons

  • Requires a separate top coat for moisture and scratch resistance
  • Can be messy if not handled with care due to its thin, gel-like consistency
  • May require multiple layers to achieve deep saturation on non-porous surfaces

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting, ensure your surface is clean and free of oils or wax. If working on wood, a light sanding will improve penetration. To apply, use a foam brush, lint-free cloth, or paint brush; adjust the consistency by adding small amounts of water for a wash effect. Once the project has dried completely—typically overnight—protect your work by applying a clear, water-based top coat. Avoid using oil-based sealers, as these can conflict with the water-based chemistry of the SPiT. Store the container tightly closed in a cool, dry place to prevent the gel from drying out.
