FAQs
Can I mix this with other acrylic paints?
Yes, it can generally be mixed with other high-quality water-based acrylic paints, though mixing may alter the intensity of the pearlescent effect.
Is this paint non-toxic?
Pebeo craft paints are formulated to meet standard safety regulations for arts and crafts, but always read the label instructions for specific handling.
How long does it take to dry?
Touch dry time varies by surface and thickness, but most applications will be dry within 30 to 60 minutes.
Does it need a sealer?
While the paint is permanent, applying an acrylic varnish can add extra protection and depth to the finish on frequently handled items.
Can I use this on fabric?
While it adheres to many surfaces, it is specifically designed for hard craft materials; it may stiffen fabric and is not recommended for washable clothing.
Troubleshooting
Paint appears streaky upon application
Apply a secondary thin coat once the first is completely dry, ensuring your brushstrokes follow a consistent direction.
Paint is not adhering to a non-porous surface
Ensure the surface is degreased and lightly sanded to provide a mechanical tooth for the paint to grip.
Dried paint feels tacky or soft
The humidity might be too high; allow for a longer drying period or move the project to a low-humidity environment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting your project, ensure that the target surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or oils to maximize adhesion. While this paint adheres well to porous surfaces like plaster and wood, non-porous surfaces like metal should be wiped down before application.
Care instructions:
- Cleaning: Clean brushes and tools immediately with soap and warm water while the paint is still wet.
- Storage: Keep the bottle tightly capped and stored in a cool, dry place to prevent the paint from drying out.
- Safety: Ensure you work in a well-ventilated area, although Pebeo acrylics are generally standard water-based formulas.
