FAQs
How long does the paste take to dry?
Drying time varies depending on the thickness of application and environmental conditions. It can range from several hours to overnight. Thicker applications will take longer to dry.
Can I use the paste with stencils?
Yes, the paste works great with stencils. Apply the paste over the stencil using a palette knife for a textured design.
Can I mix colors with the paste?
No, the Black Opaque version is not intended to be mixed with other colors. It's meant to be used as a solid opaque black.
How do I clean my tools after use?
Clean your palette knives and other tools with water and soap immediately after use. Dried paste can be difficult to remove.

What surfaces can I use this on?

Can I add color to the paste?

Troubleshooting
Paste appears to crack after drying.
Apply the paste in thinner layers and allow each layer to dry before adding another. Avoid applying too much paste in one go.
Paste is too thick or difficult to spread.
Ensure the paste is stored correctly (lid sealed tightly) to prevent drying out. If the paste has started to dry, you might need to discard it. Use a palette knife or spatula to apply.
Paste isn't adhering to the surface.
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of oils or other contaminants. Some surfaces may require a primer or gesso for better adhesion.
