- Permanent, water insoluble, flexible colors when dry. Built-up surfaces will remain free of cracks and chips. Less flexible in cold weather. Softer in warm weather.
- Air-dry by evaporation. Thin paint films: 10 - 20 minutes. Thick paint films: 1 hour - 3 days.
- Surface of a dry acrylic painting can be cleaned by gently washing with soap and water.
- Keep brushes wet. Clean up brushes, hands and palette with soap and water.
- Little odor, no fumes, nonflammable. Uses non-toxic thinners and mediums.
- Do not mix with turpentine or oils. Mix only with other acrylic emulsion paints or mediums.
Cleanup of Acrylic Paints
- 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 paint is wet, wipe with damp rag, clean with water. When paint is dry, simply paint over surface with desired colors and motif.
