Are DecoArt products food safe?

DecoArt does not consider any of our current products to be food safe for people or pets. DecoArt paints should not come in contact with any foods or any person's mouth. They can be used on glassware as long as the paint does not come into contact with anything that will be ingested.

How do I properly dispose of DecoArt paints?

DecoArt does not recommend pouring any paint or any chemicals down the drain, even when diluted. The preferred disposal method would be to donate the paint to a recycling center if your area has one. If not, you can allow the paint to dry out by either mixing it with a desiccant (like kitty litter) or opening the bottle/can and allowing the paint to air dry. You can dispose of them with solid waste once they are dry.

How long does it take DecoArt paint to dry between coats?

DecoArt products are water-based, and generally one coat of paint takes between 15 to 30 minutes to dry to the touch. Variables such as surfaces and environmental elements like heat, cold, and moisture may affect dry times.

How do I remove DecoArt paints from hard and soft surfaces?

All DecoArt paints are considered permanent once dry. While we cannot guarantee results, DecoArt recommends Jack's Linseed Studio Soap to clean the work surface, floor, and just about anything else that needs cleaning. Test on surface before using. For best results, soap and water clean up is recommended while paint is still wet. Jack's Linseed Studio Soap carries the AP Seal of Approval.
