Stir the paint thoroughly before each use to distribute the metallic particles evenly. Apply in thin, even coats. Allow each coat to dry completely before applying the next. Using a primer can also enhance the vibrancy of the metallic finish.
This paint is suitable for various craft surfaces including wood, paper, card, primed metal, and certain plastics. Always perform a patch test on an inconspicuous area first if you are unsure about compatibility.
Drying times can vary depending on application thickness, temperature, and humidity. Typically, the paint will be touch-dry within an hour and fully cured within 24 hours. Allow adequate drying time between coats.
Yes, applying a clear acrylic sealant or varnish over the fully dried paint is recommended for added durability, especially for items that will be handled frequently or exposed to light wear and tear.
Clean your brushes and any other tools immediately after use with water. Dried paint can be difficult to remove.
When stored correctly with the lid tightly sealed in a cool, dry place, the paint should remain usable for an extended period, typically at least a year. Check for any separation or significant thickening before use.
Ensure the paint was thoroughly stirred before application. Apply additional thin coats, allowing each to dry, for increased coverage and shimmer. Check that the surface was properly prepared (clean and dry).
Check if the lid was sealed properly, causing partial drying. If slightly thickened, you may be able to add a very small amount of water (a few drops) and stir well. If excessively thick, it may be unusable.
The surface may not have been adequately prepared. Ensure it was clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. For some materials, a primer may be necessary for optimal adhesion.
Setup: Before use, ensure the paint is well-mixed. Stir thoroughly with a brush or stirring stick until the metallic particles are evenly distributed.
Compatibility: This paint is generally compatible with various porous and non-porous surfaces commonly used in crafting, including wood, paper, card, primed metal, and some plastics. Always test on an inconspicuous area first if unsure. Avoid use on fabrics that will be frequently washed.
Care: Store the paint in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed after use to prevent the paint from drying out. Clean brushes and tools immediately after use with water. Once dry, the painted surface can be wiped with a slightly damp cloth, but avoid abrasive cleaners.
