Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Preparation: Ensure your chosen surface (glass, Perspex, or acetate) is clean and dry. Use a glass cleaner or mild soap and water to remove any dirt, dust, or grease. Allow it to air dry completely.
- Application: Apply the paint using a brush, sponge, or other suitable tools. For best results, use multiple thin coats rather than a single thick one. This prevents running or uneven coverage. Allow each layer to dry before applying the next.
- Drying Time: The paint dries to the touch within a few hours. Allow it to dry completely for at least 24 hours to achieve a waterproof finish. Avoid touching the painted surface during the drying period.
- Cleaning: While wet, the paint can be wiped away with water. Once dry, it becomes waterproof. Clean brushes and tools immediately after use with water.
- Compatibility: Artiste Glass Paint works best on non-porous surfaces such as glass, Perspex, and acetate. It may not adhere well to all types of plastic or treated surfaces. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area first.
