Bleeding paint question
« on: May 08, 2017, 08:10:35 pm »
This may be a long shot, but what the heck...

So I painted over rawhide with black acrylic and wanted to stencil on a pattern on top of the black with spray paint. I did this, waited a while for everything to dry real good, then applied some light-colored wood stain. That's when it happened... the spray paint just bled all over the place, but the acrylic was fine.

I looked at the can and realized it says, "indoor only." As far as I can see, it gives no indication of what kind of paint it is. My question is...

is there any type of finish that can go over this spray paint without making it bleed?

Here's a pic of the can...

Thanks!

Check the ingredients list. The spray paint is probably mostly either acetone or toluene. Those two solvents don't like each other much. The stain was probably one the spray paint was the other, or maybe lacquer. But if it was lacquer the acrylic would have wrinkled a too, I would think.

Always do a test run first.   )-w(

Yes that's a surprise I've had too.From then on I use counter based finishes.Ones that don't mix with each other.Letting them dry good helps too.

Like Pat says do test run, but maybe you could go over with truoil or something clear scuff that up and then use other products.

Oil or water based stain?
