FAQs

Can I use this with other types of paint?

How long does it take to dry?

Drying time varies based on the thickness of the application and the environmental conditions. It can range from a few hours to a day or more.

How do I clean my tools?

Clean your tools immediately after use with soap and water before the medium dries. Dried medium can be difficult to remove.

Can I add color directly to the medium?

What surfaces can I use this on?

How do I achieve a raised stencil effect?

Apply the medium through a stencil, let it dry completely, then remove the stencil and paint over the raised design.

Can I layer the medium?

Yes, you can apply multiple layers of the medium, but ensure each layer is completely dry before adding the next one to prevent cracking.

Troubleshooting

Medium is not adhering to the surface.

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of any oils or previous coatings. Lightly sand non-porous surfaces for better adhesion.

The medium is cracking after drying.

Apply thinner layers and allow each layer to dry completely before applying the next. Avoid applying the medium too thickly in one go.

Experiment with different mixing ratios of medium to paint. Also, try different tools, like palette knives or textured brushes, to achieve the desired effect.
