What humidity is required to paint acrylic latex?

everything you want....acrylic is great...just use your medium knowing there is no right or wrong....not ever...one love...... Actually, in these type of things, there is a right and wrong. Acrylic house paint should not be applied if the humidity is higher than 85%. Drying times are normally calculated at 50% relative humidity.


Is spray paint an acrylic paint?

Is acrylic paint good to paint a glass lamp?

Yes, Acrylics will adhere to glass. If using the glass outside, be sure to varnish with a uvls varnish to prevent sun damage. I have used acrylic paints on many outdoor craft projects, some of which have been exposed to the weather for several years. None of them have dissolved or ran. Acrylic paints are composed of acrylic polymers and pigment suspended in water. As the water drys after application the polymers fuse together and form a strong permanent water resistant paint. In fact polymer craft paints were first used as high grade exterior water based house paints. Many of the better exterior water based house paints are still acrylic.


Is acrylic paint biodegradable?

No, latex paint, or any other paint, is not biodegradable. How long do you suppose it would last on the outside of your house if it was? Not very long. You can be sure that some out of touch, misinformed, or, as usual, disastrously well intentioned leader in the state of California is right now concocting some insane bill to see that nobody can apply paint to the outside of their own homes.


Is acrylic the same as latex?

The basic difference between the two paints is that latex paint is water-based and acrylic paint has a chemical composition that gives it elasticity. (But, there are "acrylic latex" paints, with varying degrees and properties of both.) Outside house paints are moving away from latex to 100 percent acrylic because the latter easily expands and contracts with heat and cold. As a result it holds better than latex. And there is a difference in price. Latex paint is much less expensive, but remember that if you use latex over the more expensive acrylic, the surface will have to be painted again much sooner.

Can a person do airbrush tattoo themselves?

Doing airbrush tattoos on yourself is the best way to practice. It limits the places on the body that are able to have an airbrush tattoo, but it can still work. It is a little harder with the airbrush but here at TribalInk Products we sell small kit-in-a-bag kits that enable anyone to just use a sponge to put the cosmetic airbrush tattoo paint right through the adhesive airbrush tattoo stencil.

Why do you apply paint to iron articles?

Paint can protect iron from rusting, especially if it is the right kind of paint - you would not want to use a water based acrylic paint, since the water in the paint would promote rusting, rather than preventing it.


What kind of paint works best on jean jackets?

There are several ways to paint on denim. If you have access to an airbrush, Createx paints work wonderfully on most fabrics. If however you do not have an airbrush you still have a couple of options. In you local craft/art supply store you will find a section for fabric paints. Some of these are true dye based (good on white or light coloured fabrics, but not much good for a dark denim). Other paints which are "specialty" paints like puff paint, or glitter paint or pearlized paint. These work well on denim as they stay on the surface, adhere well and give a nice washable finish. I recommend reading the labels carefully, you want a paint that is washable and is very pliable (that way it doesn't crack and peel off right away). Your final option is to use ordinary acrylic craft paints. In the section where you buy the paints you can also get an additive that makes the paint adhere to fabric.

Does the consistency needed for paint change depending on what you are painting?

Yes, and on the style of art you are doing. For example watercolors takes much less thickness paint wise than say oil paints. You just need to experiment for a while, and see what feels/looks right.

Is acrylic paint toxis for hermit crabs?

Acrylic paint is not toxic for hermit crabs. Although if and when you paint them make sure the shells are empty, do not paint on the bottom or in the inside of the shell, and last when you are finished painting it, let it sit for 5-10 days to let poison dry out.
