Product Information
Full details
The Décopatch Watercolour Dots paper is designed for crafters of all skill levels looking to upcycle old objects or create custom art pieces. Its primary benefit is the extremely thin, durable material that conforms easily to complex shapes and corners, providing a smooth, paint-like finish. Note that because the paper is quite delicate, it requires careful handling during the initial application of varnish-glue to prevent tearing before it is fully sealed.

Paper tearing during application
Apply a slightly thicker layer of varnish-glue to the surface first, and use a soft-bristled brush to move the paper into position gently.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before beginning, ensure your workspace is protected, as the varnish-glue can be sticky.
- Surface Prep: Ensure the object is clean, dry, and dust-free.
- Tear, Don't Cut: Tearing the paper into smaller pieces helps the edges blend more naturally compared to using scissors.
- Application: Apply glue to the surface, place the paper, and seal with a top coat of varnish.
- Care: Keep the sheets in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading or damage before use.
This paper is intended for indoor use and works excellently on common hobby surfaces like plastic figurines, glass bottles, or simple metal tins.
