Is it safe for children's toys?

For a durable finish, a minimum of two coats is recommended.

How do I clean the painted surfaces?

What is the coverage of a 750ml tin?

Can I use this paint in the bathroom?

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering properly.

Ensure the surface is clean and lightly sanded if it's glossy. Apply a thin first coat and allow it to dry completely.

Brush marks are visible.

Use a high-quality brush or roller designed for water-based paints. Apply the paint evenly and avoid overworking it. Self-leveling properties help minimize brush marks.

Coverage seems poor.

Ensure you are applying the paint at the recommended thickness. Porous surfaces may require more coats. Make sure you have enough paint for the project, and consider intermixing batches for consistency.
