Some Facts About Acyrlic Paint Colors:


- Water soluble when wet, but are permanent, water resistant, and flexible when dry.
- Have little odor, release no fumes, are nonflammable.
- Built-up surfaces will remain free of cracks and chips. Surfaces are less flexible in cold weather and softer in warm weather.
- Can be used on almost any surface, from paper, to canvas, to brick, to wood – The exceptions are oily or shiny surfaces. Plastic surfaces should be sanded before painting; leather surfaces should be degreased with rubbing alcohol.
- Air-dry by evaporation. Thin paint films: 10 - 20 minutes. Thick paint films: 1 hour - 3 days.
- The surface of a dry acrylic painting can be cleaned by gently washing with soap and water.
- Use only non-toxic thinners and mediums. Do not mix with turpentine or oils. Mix only with other acrylic emulsion paints or mediums.


Cleaning up Acrylic Paint:


From hands: Wet or dried acrylic paint cleans with soap and water.
From brushes: Clean wet brushes with soap & water. Clean dried acrylic brushes with acetone, denatured alcohol or equivalent product. These cleaning solutions are toxic. Care should be taken during use.
From clothing: While paint is wet, clean with water and/or window cleaner. Dried acrylic paint is permanent on fabric.
From painting surface: While acrylic paint is wet, wipe with damp rag, clean with water. When paint is dry, simply paint over surface with desired colors and motif.
