It had been mentioned that there was no green in the box--could dabs of blue and yellow be mixed, or does this enamel dry too quickly? Thanks.

The enamel does dry fast. I wouldn't mix them. You can get green enamel paint at most craft/hobby stores

These paints may be mixed to create other colors. They are oil based paints. Painted objects take a couple of hours to dry. For best results, do not handle painted objects for a couple of days to allow for complete drying.

i dont think it dries too fast. You should be able to do that.I know you can add an oil like mineral oil to help it from drying out.you can also just buy a green sperate,I know there not too much.they usally have

Well, I ended up almost boiling a pot of hard boiled eggs dry and got the same effect. I keep forgetting to purchase Bartender's Friend to see if I can remove the rainbow colors but I keep forgetting it when shopping. And for me it's no big deal. However, with my stove heating at 4 is way too hot so I've been lowering it even more. I think it is because I'm not used to my new stove. Don't know if this is of any help to you.

it doesn't have a glaze or finish, it is rough in texture.don't know about chemicals in the creation process, but I'm sure their had to be some,

I really don't see why you couldn't mix the two. It would probably give you a nice effect without over-doing the sparkle from the glass.

I myself did. I just followed the drying time on the paint i used, which was about 6 hours. It might be better if you wait longer in humid conditions. The only problem i had was I used it over white paint and it yellowed some. Its not a problem since it was on a worktable. I don't know if the same thing would happen with other colors. I hope this helps.

Yes you can color tint it a bit by mixing. I liked it very much. It does leave a residue..I would much rather that physical barrier than being poisoned by the other crap on the market. Joel Fuhrman recommended it so I tried it and it works very well. I did not use it memorial weekend and got burned to a crisp because I was having too much fun working and mowing the grass for my former employer and saying hi to all the families visiting their fallen and surviving (but still transitioned) war heroes. Great people.

Not really. Though I haven't used this product yet, all the instructions give are these 'hints': Blue+Red=Purple; Red+Yellow=Orange; Blue+Yellow=Green. But this is basic color theory that you can find on-line or in any elementary painting book (e.g. watercolor). Blue, Red and Yellow are the 'primary' colors; purple, orange and green 'secondary' (derived from the primaries). If you mix all 3 primaries you will be introducing black and brown hues and this will dull or 'muddy' your resulting color, but you can use unequal amounts of any two. Black and brown are also in the kit for a total of 5 hues. (Just FYI: actual color products are not 100% the pure theoretical primaries; e.g. maybe the blue is slightly greenish (implying a small amount of yellow) so if you mix this blue with a red, you will have all three primaries present -- to a small extent-- creating a duller purple than you would hope. Again, I have no experience to date with mixing the packets in this kit.) Good luck.

When you bought this, did you take it to the paint counter and have them mix the color for you? That has to be done, you can't just pick up the box and paint with it, just like any other paint.

I don't have an answer to that. If you still have the empty bottle, I would compare the ingredients. On the other hand, I used Gellish and Fingerpaint color with the CND base and top coat and didn't have a problem.

Hi Eric. It just so happens I have stumbled on a nice sealer/finisher, a totally matte spray by Deco Art, Americana. It is nicely clear, doesn't seem to yellow the paint and is just the ticket for the crackle medium. I found it on Amazon, and it may be a bit pricier than something you'd find in Home Depot type box store, but it works fine. I'm doing a big wall cupboard in crackle, and I am thinking about using it on a table if it's conducive to using as a dining top finish. Good luck! Terri C.

Yes, you can either mix it with colored fondant or with the gel colors. Use a tooth pick to dot the ball of fondant with the color gel of your choice

Rita,That is exactly why I bought this paint. I sanded the ring where paint came off on bottom of microwave with heavy sanding paper then with very fine grit paper. Wiped it clean. Sprayed light coat of paint, repeated 3 times. I even painted some stained areas on sides and top of inside microwave and it turned out beautiful. Makes my microwave look clean and new inside!!!This paint is fast drying. Remember not to hold can to close to what you are painting or it will run. I took my microwave out on pick nick table so I could turn it every which way that I needed.It is working great for us. Painted several months ago and holding up great.

The regular grey mortar mix works great to achieve good colors (just add the pigments), mix your mortar to about "ice cream" consistancy, make sure to use a good release agent, vibrate them good after pour to let the airbubbles out, and dont try to demold them untill properly cured (about 12-18hrs at least) and you should be happy with the results.

When properly mixed Elmer's All Purpose is closer to cream color, with a hint of almond. Initially is consistency of cake frosting. I suspect that a very small touch of almond color paint could be mixed in to obtain desired color, without affecting set. Can be painted when dry and hard. Elmer's "Damaged Wood" Repair System is also a 2 part product but more putty like when mixed, for vertical applications--it is toasted almond color. Both products are excellent and versatile with a little practice.

Yes, it's customizable as to how light or dark you want the end result to be. Also, if you layer the minerals while they are still wet, you will end up with gray areas where the white and black mix together (but dab the sponge, don't smear!).

HI Susan, I put some on an envelope, with a picture, to see what happened.. it looks as if it leaves a crackled type of finish. It may distort the color or finished look of the puzzle.Debi

Yes, you do have to mix the paints. No big deal at all. Equal parts of each. I use just a little bit with even amounts and mix with a toothpick. Just a small amount will last. Also, I have an eye dropper and add 1 drop of water to mix in when it starts to dry out.
