💧 Application Tips
"Move the paint with water" for smooth blending
Use a continuous misting bottle to lightly dampen your brush or surface
Dilution options:
Up to 1:10 (paint to water) without losing color vibrancy
Many users prefer a 1:1 ratio for standard applications
For fabric (like velvet): approx. 1:4 ratio, applied in multiple coats
🛠️ How to Use

Stir paint (often minimal stirring is needed)
Apply first coat
Allow to dry (15 minutes to a few hours depending on climate)
Apply a second coat if needed
Let cure for 24 hours
Seal with a DIY Paint finishing product (such as wax or Big Top) to enhance durability and depth
