FAQs

Is DecoArt Americana Acrylic Paint non-toxic?

Yes, DecoArt Americana Acrylic Paints are water-based and non-toxic, making them safe for use by artists, crafters, and students.

How do I clean up paint spills or brushes?

Clean up is easy with soap and water while the paint is still wet. For dried paint, a more intensive cleaning may be required.

Can I mix different colors of Americana Acrylics together?

Yes, all colors in the DecoArt Americana Acrylic line are intermixable, allowing you to create a vast spectrum of custom colors.

What surfaces can I use this paint on?

This paint is suitable for a wide variety of surfaces including canvas, paper, wood, metal, ceramic, Styrofoam, and unglazed pottery.

Does the paint need a top coat or varnish?

While the paint dries to a durable finish, applying a varnish can provide additional protection against wear and tear, and allow you to achieve different sheen levels (matte, satin, gloss).

How long does the paint take to dry?

Drying time varies based on application thickness, humidity, and temperature. Typically, it is dry to the touch within 15-30 minutes and can be recoated after 1-2 hours.

Can I use this paint on fabric?

While primarily designed for rigid surfaces, Americana Acrylics can be used on fabric with appropriate fabric medium or by ensuring the fabric is taut and not too flexible. For best results on fabric, consider specialized fabric paints.

Troubleshooting

Paint is too thick or has dried out

Add a small amount of water or DecoArt Medium to restore consistency. If completely dried, it may be unusable.

Poor adhesion to surface

Ensure the surface was clean, dry, and properly prepared. Consider applying a primer or using a specific adhesion medium for challenging surfaces.

Color appears different after drying

Some acrylics can darken slightly as they dry. Test colors on a scrap piece of your material before committing to the final project.

Streaks or brush marks are visible

Apply paint in thin, even coats. Use a softer brush or a sponge applicator for smoother finishes. Allow coats to dry before applying the next.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure your chosen surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or loose particles. For non-porous surfaces like metal or glazed ceramic, a light sanding or priming may improve adhesion. For porous surfaces like raw wood or unglazed pottery, a primer is recommended.

Compatibility: DecoArt Americana Acrylic Paints are compatible with most standard art and craft surfaces, including wood, canvas, paper, fabric (test for flexibility), metal, ceramic, glass (non-food contact surfaces), Styrofoam, and plastic models. They are also compatible with DecoArt mediums and varnishes for extended creative options.

Care:

  1. Cleaning Tools: Wash brushes, palettes, and other tools with soap and water immediately after use while the paint is still wet.
  2. Cleaning Surfaces: To clean painted surfaces, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing, especially on less durable surfaces.
  3. Storage: Store paint containers tightly sealed in a cool, dry place away from extreme temperatures. Avoid freezing.
