FAQs
How long does it take for the paint to dry?
The paint usually dries within 30-60 minutes, depending on the thickness of the coat and the environmental conditions. It's best to allow several hours for complete drying.
Can I use different paints?
While the kit includes paints, you can experiment with other paints suitable for plaster. Acrylic paints work well.
What should I do if I make a mistake?
If the paint is still wet, you can wipe it off with a damp cloth. Once dry, you can paint over the mistake with another layer of paint.
How can I protect the finished decorations?
You can apply a clear sealant or varnish to the decorations once the paint is completely dry to protect them and make them last longer.
Are the paints non-toxic?
The paints are designed to be safe for children. However, adult supervision is recommended, especially for younger children, to avoid accidental ingestion.
Can I use the kit outdoors?
The kit is intended for indoor use. Prolonged exposure to outdoor elements may damage the decorations.
Troubleshooting
Paint is too thick or clumpy.
Add a small amount of water to the paint and mix well. Ensure the paint is not old or dried out.
Paint is not sticking to the plaster.
Ensure the plaster surface is clean and dry before painting. Apply a thin base coat first.
Brush hairs are shedding.
Rinse the brush gently with water and remove any loose hairs before painting.
