FAQs
How do I thin the acrylic paint?
Add small amounts of water, mixing thoroughly until you achieve the desired consistency. Test the mixture on a separate surface before applying to your artwork.
Can I use the paint on fabric?
Yes, you can use acrylic paint on fabric. However, the fabric should be pre-washed. After the paint dries, heat-set the design with an iron (without steam) to make it more permanent. Test a small, inconspicuous area first.
How do I clean up spills?
Wipe up wet paint spills immediately with a damp cloth or sponge. Dried paint can be more difficult to remove, so act quickly.
What surfaces can I use this paint on?
This paint is suitable for a wide range of surfaces including paper, canvas, card, board, and wood.
How long does it take for the paint to dry?
Drying time depends on the thickness of the paint and the environmental conditions. Thin layers will dry within minutes, while thicker layers may take longer.
Can I mix different colors?
Yes, Chiltern acrylic paints are designed to be mixed. You can combine different colors to create a wide range of custom shades.
How should I store the paint?
Store the paint tubes with their caps tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Troubleshooting
Paint is too thick or difficult to apply.
Add a small amount of water to the paint and mix thoroughly. Test the consistency on a separate surface.
Paint is not adhering well to the surface.
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and primed if necessary. Some surfaces might require a gesso primer.
Colors appear different when dry.
