Product Information

Full details

This water-based craft paint is for hobbyists and DIY enthusiasts seeking a reliable, high-coverage paint for various creative projects. Its key benefit is delivering professional-quality, silky matte finishes with quick drying times and easy cleanup. A potential caveat is the need for pre-sanding on untreated wood surfaces for optimal adhesion. The paint offers excellent coverage, dries quickly to a durable, partially water-resistant matte finish, and is suitable for numerous materials like wood, paper, plaster, and canvas.

FAQs

Is this paint suitable for outdoor use?

The paint is partially water-resistant when dry, which offers some protection. However, for prolonged outdoor exposure or areas with frequent contact with water, applying a clear acrylic sealant over the dried paint is recommended for enhanced durability.

Can I mix Plus Color paints together?

Yes, the colors are designed to be mixable, allowing you to create a wide range of custom shades and tones for your projects.

How long does the paint take to dry completely?

The paint dries quickly to the touch, typically within minutes, allowing for layering. Full curing and water resistance develop over a longer period, usually 24-72 hours, depending on environmental conditions and layer thickness.

What surfaces can I use this paint on?

It is suitable for a variety of surfaces including wood, paper, cardboard, plaster, clay, and canvas. For untreated wood, sanding before painting is recommended.

How do I achieve a smooth, matte finish?

Apply the paint in thin, even coats using a suitable brush or roller. Allow each coat to dry before applying the next. The paint naturally dries to a silky matte finish.

Can children use this paint?

Yes, this water-based paint is suitable for classroom and workshop projects for both kids and adults due to its ease of use and simple cleanup with water.

What is the best way to clean my tools?

Rinse brushes and tools thoroughly with lukewarm water immediately after use. For dried paint, soaking in water and gentle manipulation may help, or a specialized brush cleaner can be used.

Troubleshooting

Paint is too thick or clumpy.

Stir the paint thoroughly. If still too thick, add a very small amount of water (a few drops at a time) and mix well. Avoid adding too much water, as this can affect coverage and finish.

Poor adhesion on wood.

Ensure the wood surface was sanded before application. Clean the surface to remove dust. For untreated wood, sanding is crucial for optimal adhesion.

Paint is streaky or uneven.

Apply in thin, even coats. Allow each coat to dry before applying the next. Ensure you are using the appropriate application tool (brush, roller, stencil) for the desired effect.

Brushes are difficult to clean.

Clean brushes immediately after use with lukewarm water. For dried paint, soak the brush in water and gently work the bristles to loosen the paint. Stubborn dried paint may require a brush cleaner.
