Is acrylic paint permanment stains on my skin and clothing?

Question

I have a paint kit, from Jessica "NeonDragon" Peffer, whose acrylic paint are from Walter Foster. They do not include health informations. I am wondering if they will cause stains on my clothing and hands and skin if I work with them-- this is also my first time using acrylics.

And how can you get rid of these stains if it does so happens to get on my clothing or skin?

Answer 1

Wear clothing that you don't worry about or why do it? Then use a wet cloth to wipe anything you happen to get on you. If it does dry on clothing it won't come out and it will dry fast. Why worry? Wear an old flannel shirt and old pants. If it's on your skin and dries you will have to really scrub it hard, use oil or lotion or vaseline to get it off. But I'd just keep a wet cloth nearby to get it off the skin when it happens. I'm a messy painter...I love it and decorative painting is my favorite. I get paint in my hair and every place else too! Good luck with being a neat and clean painter, that takes out half the fun for me.

Answer 2

On your skin, no. It should wash off in warm soap and water or a good manicurist for your nails. There are no toxic effects that can be absorbed through the skin. There are in solvents used with oils. Your clothes are another matter. As far as I have experienced, wear clothes you don't mind getting paint on. You may even accidentally create a fashion fad.

Answer 3

Use fabrics paint with a fabric or fabrics medium to color on your shirt. After the paint has thoroughly dried or cured (a minimum of 24 hours later) place a sheet of waxed paper with the waxed side down, over your paintings and iron (low placing and no steam) over it. this might set your paintings. at first washing, turn you shirt interior out previously putting into the washer and dryer.

Answer 4

On your Skin wash it off with soap and water.
On your clothes it will only come off if you wash it out the minute it goes on, after that it won't come out
