FAQs

Can this paint be used outdoors?

While the paint offers good durability, for items exposed to harsh weather conditions, it is recommended to apply a suitable exterior-grade sealant or varnish over the dried paint for maximum protection.

How long does the paint take to dry?

Drying time varies depending on the thickness of the application, humidity, and temperature. Typically, it is touch-dry within 30-60 minutes and fully cured within 24-72 hours. Allow adequate drying time between coats.

Is this paint waterproof when dry?

Once fully cured, the paint offers good water resistance. However, it is not completely waterproof and may be affected by prolonged submersion or harsh cleaning.

Can I mix this paint with other brands?

It is generally safe to mix Cadence Hybrid Acrylic paints with other water-based acrylic paints. However, it's advisable to test a small area first, as mixing with different formulations could potentially affect adhesion or finish.

What is the best way to clean up spills?

Clean up spills and wet paint immediately with soap and water. Once the paint has dried, it becomes much more difficult to remove and may require scraping or sanding.

Does this paint require a primer?

For most surfaces, a primer is not strictly necessary due to the paint's excellent adhesion properties. However, for very glossy, slick, or porous surfaces, a primer can enhance durability and ensure optimal results.

Troubleshooting

Paint is too thick or has clumps

Ensure the bottle was shaken or stirred thoroughly. If clumps persist, strain the paint through a fine-mesh sieve. Do not add water unless specifically recommended for thinning, as it may affect adhesion.

Poor adhesion on a specific surface

Clean the surface thoroughly and ensure it is completely dry. Lightly sand glossy surfaces before application. For challenging materials like untreated plastics or very smooth glass, consider using a specific primer designed for that material.

Paint is drying too quickly on the brush

Work in smaller sections. Keep a mist spray bottle with water handy to lightly mist your brush or palette if needed, but use sparingly.

Uneven or streaky finish

Ensure even pressure and consistent brush strokes. Apply paint in thin, even coats rather than one thick coat. Allow each coat to dry before applying the next.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Adheres well to multiple surfaces without extensive prep.
  • Provides opaque coverage, reducing the number of layers needed.
  • Water-based formula allows for easy cleanup.
  • Suitable for a broad range of crafting and DIY applications.
  • Offers good durability for finished projects.

Cons

  • May require additional sealing for extreme weather exposure.
  • Drying time can be affected by humidity and temperature.
  • As with most acrylics, it is not suitable for direct food contact surfaces without proper sealing.
  • Can be challenging to remove once fully cured.
  • Specific surface preparation might still be beneficial for optimal longevity on challenging materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or oil. For glossy surfaces, a light sanding can improve adhesion. Shake the bottle well before use. Apply paint with a brush, roller, or sponge.

Compatibility: This hybrid acrylic paint is designed for use on wood, metal, glass, ceramic, plastic, fabric, canvas, and more. It can be applied over existing paint or finishes, provided they are clean and stable. It is compatible with most water-based varnishes and sealants for added protection.

Care: Clean brushes and tools immediately after use with soap and water. Store the paint in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and freezing temperatures. Once dry, the painted surface can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
