Product Information
Full details
DecoArt Multi-Surface Satin Acrylic Paint in White Birch is designed for crafters and DIY enthusiasts who need a versatile, high-coverage solution for projects ranging from wood and terracotta to glass and metal. The primary benefit is its self-sealing formula, which eliminates the need for primers or varnishes, though users should note that full chemical resistance requires a complete curing period.

Troubleshooting
Paint is not adhering to a specific plastic surface.
Ensure the surface is properly cleaned and slightly scuffed with fine-grit sandpaper to provide better mechanical tooth for the paint.
Visible brush strokes are occurring.
Add a tiny amount of water to improve flow, or use a softer, high-quality synthetic brush to allow the paint to level itself better.
Paint is peeling off glass.
The glass surface may have had residual oils. Clean thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol and ensure the paint has been allowed to cure fully.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare for a project, simply ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or oils. Because the paint is self-sealing, you do not need to apply a base coat. Apply the paint in thin, even layers; while it covers well, multiple thin coats are generally superior to one thick coat.
For cleanup, use soap and water while the paint is still wet. Once dry, the paint is permanent. To ensure the finish reaches its maximum chemical resistance, allow the project to cure for at least 7 to 10 days before exposing it to heavy cleaning or high-wear environments.
