FAQs

Is this paint permanent?

Poster paints are generally not as permanent as acrylics. While they offer good coverage on porous surfaces, they may not be entirely waterproof or fade-resistant without a sealant. For enhanced durability on non-porous surfaces or for outdoor use, applying a clear varnish is recommended.

Can I mix the colors together?

Yes, these tempera paints are designed to be mixed. You can create a wider spectrum of colors by combining the available shades. Always mix small amounts first to test the desired color.

How do I clean up paint stains on clothing?

For fresh stains, rinse the area with cold water immediately and then wash with soap and water. For dried stains, try soaking in cold water or using a stain remover before washing. Success may vary depending on the fabric and how long the stain has been set.

What is the best surface for this paint?

The paint performs exceptionally well on paper, cardboard, wood, and canvas. It also works on glass, clay, and cloth, though adhesion and permanence might vary on smoother or less porous materials.

Can I use this paint for airbrushing?

This poster paint is typically too thick for standard airbrush use without significant thinning, which may alter its pigment concentration and coverage. It is best suited for traditional application methods like brushing.

How long does the paint last once opened?

When stored correctly (lids tightly closed, in a cool, dry place), the paint should remain usable for a considerable time, often a year or more. However, always check for changes in texture or odor, which might indicate it's no longer suitable for use.

Is it safe for toddlers to use?

Yes, the paint is formulated to be non-toxic and is suitable for children aged 3 and above, making it safe for younger artists under supervision.

Troubleshooting

Paint is too thick or separated.

Shake the pot vigorously before use. If separation persists, stir gently with a clean brush or palette knife.

Paint is not adhering well to the surface.

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. For non-porous surfaces like glass or plastic, consider applying a primer specifically designed for the material before painting.

Color appears dull or less vibrant than expected.

Apply a second coat once the first coat is dry. Ensure the surface is light-colored or primed, as darker or colored surfaces can affect the final hue.

Paint has dried on brushes or tools.

Clean tools immediately after use with soap and water. If paint has dried, soaking in warm soapy water may help, but stubborn dried paint might require mechanical removal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: No specific setup is required. Simply open the pots and prepare your workspace. It is recommended to cover your work surface to protect it from spills.

Compatibility: This tempera paint is compatible with a wide array of porous and semi-porous surfaces including paper, cardboard, wood, clay, and cloth. It can also be applied to non-porous surfaces like glass and canvas, though results may vary in terms of permanence without a suitable sealant.

Care:

  1. Shake Well Before Use: Ensure an even consistency and color payoff.
  2. Storage: Store the pots upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep lids tightly closed when not in use.
  3. Cleaning: Clean brushes, tools, and any accidental spills immediately with soap and water. Dried paint may be more difficult to remove. Ensure finished artwork on non-porous surfaces is protected with a clear varnish if intended for frequent handling or display in environments prone to moisture.
