DIRECTIONS and APPLICATION NOTES
Use Unicorn SPiT as a paint, gel or stain on most any material. Create masterpieces on
wood, glass, metal, fabric, pottery, concrete, laminate, wicker and most other
substrates.
GENERAL DIRECTIONS:
1. SHAKE WELL and test small area before use.
2. Apply with a brush, foam pad, or other tools. Dry time depends upon thickness of
the application.
3. Dry time is approximately 30-60 minutes (depending on material, humidity and
temperature) or until a chalky finish appears. Unicorn SPiT dries quickly. Use a
spray bottle of water to keep product from drying out and to easily manipulate.
4. Once dry, use FAMOWOOD GLAZE COAT or other NON-WATER BASED coatings to
protect, add gloss and dimension. For outdoor projects, make sure to protect your
masterpiece with oil-based finishes or coatings that indicate they are adequate for
outdoor use.
LAMINATE OR OTHER NON-POROUS SURFACES (THAT CAN BE SANDED): Sand the
surface with 220 sand paper after cleaning, then dust well before applying.
POLYMER CLAY APPLICATIONS:
1. Bake polymer clay per manufacturer’s directions.
2. Allow clay to completely cool.
3. Apply Unicorn SPiT directly onto the baked polymer clay with a fine-tip paint
brush. If applying Unicorn SPiT SPARKLiNG, it is recommended to apply a
white base coat of Unicorn SPiT, let dry and then apply SPARKLiNG.
4. Allow to dry (approx. 30-60 minutes).
5. Reapply Unicorn SPiT if desired.
GLASS OR OTHER NON-POROUS SURFACES (THAT CANNOT BE SANDED): For best
results, mix Unicorn SPiT with a WATER-BASED decoupage before applying to glass. For
a solid/non-transparent color, use a 1:1 ratio of Unicorn SPiT /decoupage. For more
transparent color (stained-glass style) results, use 1 part Unicorn SPiT to 4 parts
decoupage. Apply mixture directly to glass and let cure completely. To add durability
to the exterior of regularly handled items, spray a light, NON-WATER-BASED clear coat
over project and let dry.
FABRIC USE*:
•
Stamping method: Use Unicorn SPiT full strength for “stamping” (creating
design on a separate surface and then “stamping” it on to a fabric
project). Then, use a water bottle and your hand or brush to blend.
•
Direct to fabric projects: Mix Unicorn SPiT with 3-7 parts water in a spray
bottle or cup and brush it on, drip it on or spray it on.
•
Protecting your finished project: Use a NON-WATER BASED product intended
for waterproofing fabric after Unicorn SPiT has completely dried.
•
Washing: Unicorn SPiT will keep most of its color if treated before washing
(see various methods below). Let dry for 24 hours before washing. For best
results, wash in cold water by hand (with very little laundry detergent). Rinse
with cold water. Various methods to increase the colorfastness of the Unicorn
SPiT before washing are as follows:
o
Fabric Medium: Mix a Fabric Medium with Unicorn SPiT according to
instructions on the Fabric Medium bottle.
o
Non-water based fabric protectant: Let Unicorn SPiT dry. Apply
protectant. Allow to dry as indicated on product. Let set for 24 hours
before washing.
