Product Information
Full details
The Little Brian Flip Paint Sticks are an excellent choice for young artists and parents who value creativity without the typical cleanup associated with traditional liquid paints. By offering 12 vibrant colors within 6 double-ended, twist-up sticks, this product provides a mess-free painting experience that requires no brushes or water. While they offer remarkable versatility on various surfaces, users should note that the silky, water-soluble formula is designed for easy cleanup, which may lead to smudging if the artwork is handled aggressively before it fully cures.

FAQs
Are these sticks washable?
Yes, they are water-soluble and can be easily wiped away from non-porous surfaces like windows and whiteboards using a damp cloth.
Can I use these on clothes?
While they are intended for surfaces like paper and wood, they are water-soluble; however, they may stain certain fabrics, so it is best to wear protective clothing.
Do I need to sharpen the sticks?
No, the sticks are designed with a twist-up mechanism. Simply twist the base to advance more paint as you use it.
How long do they take to dry?
The paint typically dries in less than 60 seconds on most surfaces.
Can I use these on skin?
These paint sticks are designed for arts and crafts on materials like paper, card, and glass. They are not intended for use as body or face paint.
Troubleshooting
The paint stick is stuck in the tube.
Gently tap the base against a table to loosen the mechanism, then twist firmly. Ensure the stick isn't being pushed against the side of the cap.
The paint feels too soft or mushy.
Store the sticks in a cool, dry place. Extreme heat can soften the waxy consistency of the paint.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using the paint sticks, simply remove the cap and twist the base to expose the desired amount of paint. Always remember to replace the cap tightly after use to prevent the sticks from drying out. While they are compatible with surfaces like wood and canvas, always test on an inconspicuous area first if you are concerned about long-term staining on porous materials. To clean up from surfaces like windows, a standard damp cloth or paper towel is sufficient. For accidental contact with clothing, treat as a water-soluble mark and launder according to garment care instructions.
