FAQs
What age is this kit suitable for?
This kit is recommended for children aged 5 years and older.
Does the kit come with instructions?
Yes, the kit contains all necessary materials and is designed for intuitive use, with the process of applying paper and varnish-glue being straightforward.
Can I use my own paper with this kit?
While the kit includes specific Décopatch paper, you can use other types of thin paper. However, true Décopatch paper is designed to work best with the varnish-glue for a smooth finish.
How long does the varnish-glue take to dry?
Drying time can vary depending on the thickness of application and ambient humidity, but typically takes a few hours for a hard, dry finish.
Is the finished product washable?
The finished decoration is water-resistant once fully dry, meaning it can be wiped with a damp cloth. It is not fully waterproof or washable.
What are the dimensions of the paper sheets?
The two included Décopatch paper sheets measure approximately 30x40 cm each.
What should I do if I run out of varnish-glue before finishing?
You can purchase additional Décopatch varnish-glue separately. Ensure you clean the brush thoroughly after each use.
Troubleshooting
Paper is not sticking to the figure.
Ensure a sufficient layer of varnish-glue is applied to both the figure and the paper. Reapply glue and smooth the paper firmly.
Varnish-glue is drying too quickly.
Work in smaller sections. Apply the varnish-glue to only one area at a time before adding paper. Ensure the pot lid is closed when not actively in use.
Brush is stiff and unusable.
Clean the brush thoroughly with water immediately after use. If the glue has dried, soak the brush in warm water to soften the bristles.
Uneven or wrinkled paper surface.
Tear paper into smaller pieces for easier application on curved surfaces. Gently smooth the paper with the brush while applying the top layer of varnish-glue.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure a clean, flat surface for working.

- Tear or cut the Décopatch paper into small pieces.
- Apply a thin layer of varnish-glue to a section of the superhero figure using the provided brush.
- Place a piece of paper onto the glued section and gently smooth it down with the brush, applying more varnish-glue over the top to seal it.
- Continue this process until the entire figure is covered.
- Allow the figure to dry completely.
Compatibility:
- This kit is designed for use with the included components. Additional Décopatch papers and varnish-glue can be purchased separately to expand customization options.
Care:
- The brush and pot of varnish-glue should be cleaned with water immediately after use to prevent drying.
- Once the varnish-glue is fully dry, the decorated figure can be wiped clean with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh cleaning agents or submerging the figure in water.
