FREQUENTLY ASKED FACE PAINTS AND KIT QUESTIONS
(This is a guide only, it is up to you to do your research and decide what is best for you).
WHAT SHOULD I USE TO REMOVE FACE PAINT? The best method for removing face paints is good old fashioned plain soap and water. Make sure you use an old towel as even when you think you have removed the paint you will find it comes off on your towel.Baby wipes and other such products to remove paints should be avoided as sometimes a reaction can occur with the chemicals in the wipe.
MY FACE PAINT HAS GONE ALL MUSHY Some face paints don't like the heat in a hot summer. Some brands are more susceptible than others. To help prevent them getting gloopy you can put them in a cool bag with freezer blocks. Not a perfect solution, but does help keep them cool.
MY FACE PAINT IS LEAKING LIQUID Some colours of paint when kept for a while may leak colour, particularly yellows and greens. This is normal and either wipe alway the leaky deposit or a some people have suggested prick holes in the paint and allow it to sink back in.
MY FACE PAINT HAS GONE SMELLY WHEN I TRIED TO REMOVE IT There can often be a smell of rotten eggs if paints have been removed or cleaned up with wet wipes. Wet wipes are not designed for removing face paint. It is best to use soap and water.
MY DIAMOND FX OR TAG HAS GONE GLOOPY This can happen when too much water has been used. These paints are designed to be used with only a little water. If you have allowed the paint to get too wet it will go gloopy and the only way of really getting it back is to allow it to dry out. The other option is some people have put it in the microwave, but as we've not tried this ourselves I couldn't say how well this works or whether it affects the paint. Also be aware that if these paints become very, very wet it can allow bacteria to grow which may cause a skin reaction when painting.
MY DIAMOND FX AND TAG POTS HAVE A GAP AT THE BOTTOM This is so that you can screw 90 g pots and 45 g pots together and make them stack. You cannot do this with the 32 g pots.
