Does anyone know WHY the product cannot be used on walls? Is it because of discoloring or does tannic acid react with chemicals in paint?

I couldn't find anything that prohibits its use on walls, but dust mites tend to live on soft surfaces, so I guess I'm wondering why you'd consider that? lol

Hi. I have been working with paints all my life. Working forDuPont and Val-Spar. I have used vinyl finishes a few time on my own stuff and works well. I have had no problems with cracks or peeling (due to a flex additive) but for everyday use I feel it will wear through after everyday sliding back and forth as this is a thin material being sprayed and will take a few coats for decent coverage. The articles Ive sprayed in the past were chairs that did not get much use but looks good.But for the price it can't hurt to try. At worst just touch it up from time to time. Hope this helps a little anyway. Thanks. Hi. I have been working with paints all my life. Working forDuPont and Val-Spar. I have used vinyl finishes a few time on my own stuff and works well.

This type of paint was made to be sprayed over a painted surface. I dont see any harm in using it on other things, unless that object is made if real wood. There are clear coat paints made specifically for that so that the wood can stay protected.

Yes and yes. Remember that the product does not adhere to the wall so you'll have to be careful about allowing the paint to run underneath. If you are able to do so, spread the paint from the stencil area to the wall and not vise versa as the paint will surely run underneath the stencil.

I'm going to be of no help here, but I'll give it a shot. It pulled the paint right off in the living room where I used flat wall paint. In the kitchen I have a semi gloss and it did not take off the paint. This could also be the cheapness of one paint or the other, or the amount of humidity or dryness in the rooms. Best I can do. Good luck.

Though the package doesn't make any mention of wood, it does suggest using it on walls and just about everything else. It's basically an enzymatic solution, similar to what you might use on laundry stains. Package recommends you test for color-fastness on any surface before applying the product. I've personally used it on a wooden furniture frame with some success (multiple applications and drying phases). I find that covering the applied product with a dampened cloth helps with its absorption into the wood (must have allowed 30-60 minutes). I have also tried this product on black furniture leather with less success, and without color changes.

I sprayed it on fabric, wood, plastic, and furniture. I don't see why you could not spray it on drywall as long as you didn't spray it too wet. I guess if it made drip marks it is still better than it being torn up, right?

This should work with paint, but the paint needs to be diluted. I used my to paint wood panelled walls with white latex paint and it worked wonderfully. It takes a few tries to figure out the best dilution. I also found that I needed to keep qtips handy to clean the nozzle every once in a while.

I've looked at the paper work and it says that liquitex is among the first artist material manufacture to list toxicity information on its paint labels. I have looked at the bottles and can't figure out what the toxicity is. Each color has different codes to them not smart enough to know what they all mean. There is a web site www.lequitex.com that might help or there is a phone number 1-888-4-acrylic that might be able to answer your questions. I have used them a lot and like them because I am sensitive to fumes/smell and can hardly tell that there are any at all. I had to stop using folk art paints and other brand like it because the fumes and smell were so bad they made me ill. So if it is the fumes/smell that bothers you this would be a good choice. I am very happy with this purchase and have purchased them again.

Hi! I wouldn't try it. Application involves water and I think the adhesive would take the paint of your walls. :(

I just tried it, and it did NOT make a mark on a painted wall. I think this wax is harder than crayon wax...

I would call the manufacturer on this product, I applied it over a latex paint mural and as soon as the temperature changed, it clouded up and destroyed the mural. I lost a lot of time and money. It may do the same thing over Stain. Good luck.

I have to admit that I cannot understand completely the reason behind this. After reading through the information again, I have to assume it must be something with the paint. The finish on this cart seems to be a good quality paint with a nice film strength. Of course it is impossible to determine the exact makeup of the paint without significant testing. While it MAY contain some quantity of lead in the paint (or possibly another chemical..??), I personally would not be concerned unless I intended to use the cart as a direct food-contact surface. Sorry, that's all the information I have. It MIGHT be possible to contact the manufacturer (or supplier..) directly. Perhaps they could offer some additional insight.

This product is extremely versatile and the ingredients it has allows it to work on almost any kind of substrate. However, the effectivity of it will be greatly impacted by the current condition of the substrate it's being applied to. The product will only stay on and work properly if the paint on the cellar wall is currently NOT peeling off or is not foreseen to peel off. If it is, this paint will peel off as it will adhere to a substrate that's going to peel off. The best way to go is to wire brush, scrape and/or pressure wash the whole area receiving the treatment. Let it air dry for at least 72 hrs if pressure washing and proceed. Make sure you have your paint store shake/mix the can for at least 5 minutes before using. The heavy waterproofing ingredients tend to settle and are VERY hard to mix properly by hand. This product is one of the best out there. PS. I worked as a professional painter for residential, commercial and industrial applications for over 10 years..

I have had no problem just pulling it off but imagine if it won't pull off you could use a putty knife. Mine did not stain my very light paint but it was only up there for a short while. I think the type of wall covering/paint would determine how to remove any stain if there was one.

I just used it a few days ago on an unfinished wooden bench outside my condo door. It brings out the natural beauty of the wood, makes it look healthier, and adds some moisture, but it does not discolor or tint it. Beeswax has been used as a natural furniture wax for many years. This wax is great!

Hello Merry, Our decals are meant for smooth surfaces, though they've done well on orange peel walls. Generally, they don't stick well to things that are spiky, or porous. I'd be happy to take a look at a snapshot of your wall.Thank You,
