FAQs

What surfaces can I use Thorndown Peelable Glass Paint on?

You can use it on glass, mirrors, tiles, stone, metal, and most plastics. It is suitable for both internal and external applications.

How do I make the paint more transparent?

Mix the Thorndown Green Hairstreak Peelable Glass Paint with Thorndown Clear Peelable Glass Paint. The more clear paint you add, the more transparent the final color will be.

Can I mix Thorndown colours together?

Yes, you can easily mix Thorndown Peelable Glass Paints together to create your own custom colors and shades.

How long does the paint last?

The paint can last for days or years, depending on your needs. It creates a strong film that lasts for a long time but is designed to peel off cleanly when you want it to.

Is this paint safe to use indoors?

Yes, it is a water-based, non-toxic paint with virtually zero VOCs, making it safe for indoor use. Easy water wash-up is also a benefit.

How do I remove the paint?

The paint is designed to peel off cleanly. Ensure the surface was properly prepared before application. Peel slowly and steadily. For very old applications, gentle warming with a hairdryer may help.

What is the VOC content of this paint?

The paint is virtually VOC free, with a stated VOC content of 0.05% or 0.28% depending on the specification. It is also halogen-free.

Troubleshooting

Paint is difficult to peel off

Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned and dry before application. If the paint has been on for a very long time or exposed to extreme conditions, gentle warming with a hairdryer might assist removal. Always peel slowly and steadily.

Uneven finish or brush marks

Apply thin, even coats using a good quality brush or roller. Allow each coat to dry before applying the next. For a smoother finish, consider spraying or using a foam roller.

Paint not adhering well

The surface may not have been clean or dry enough prior to application. Re-clean the surface and reapply the paint. Ensure the temperature is suitable for painting (avoiding extremes).

Color fading over time

While the paint has strong resistance to UV degradation, prolonged extreme exposure can eventually impact any coating. Ensure good coverage and consider an extra coat if the surface is exposed to intense sunlight regularly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Easy to apply and remove cleanly
  • Environmentally conscious with recycled materials and low VOCs
  • Offers temporary or permanent decorative solutions
  • Provides good UV resistance and colorfastness
  • Can be mixed to create custom colors and opacities

Cons

  • Requires proper surface preparation for optimal adhesion and clean removal
  • Opaque finish may not be suitable for all decorative applications where transparency is desired
  • Specific use on certain plastics may require testing for compatibility

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or silicone. For best results, a thorough cleaning with a suitable glass cleaner or degreaser is recommended. Test adhesion on an inconspicuous area first, especially on plastics or painted surfaces.

Compatibility: This paint is suitable for glass, mirrors, tiles, stone, metal, and most plastics. It can be used on both internal and external surfaces. For improved transparency, mix with Thorndown Clear Peelable Glass Paint.

Care: Clean painted surfaces gently with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or tools that could scratch or damage the paint film. The paint is designed to be durable, but its peelable nature means it can be removed when desired. Ensure the surface is clean before application to guarantee easy removal later.
