I want to paint wooden salad bowls with acrylic paint. If I use this product afterwards, will the bowls be OK to use with salad or fruit/?

I would assume that they would be ok. This is a food grade product so that means there is no issue with food coming in contact with it and then a person eating that food. Since it is made for salad bowls I don't think it makes any difference if there is raw wood or painted wood underneath it. It may, however be detectible to some in terms of taste since the product doesn't dry to a hard finish like a clear coating that goes on furniture. Hope this helps!

Acrylics are NOT the type of paint to use. Go to Walmart and buy craft paint that can be used on material. It can be washed and retains it's vibrancy....acrylics are blotchy, if adhering at all. Do not recommend.

Yes, definitely! You only have to be worried about the glaze you use being non-toxic. Red, for example, sometimes has lead in it. So just make sure whatever glaze you use specifically says it's food safe!

I use a salad plate to my corelle dishes. Works fine. I have even used a paper plate.

I suppose you coule spray paint these sticks...i dont think weight would be affected much, but spray paint does tend to leave a sticky residue, and would probably flake off easily...youd probably want to use a layer or two of satim clear coat after the color. I think a longer-lasting alternative would be wood stain, after sanding the sticks.

you can mix acrylic but it has to be oil based and not water based if it is water based it will become a clump so I do not recommend you do so As for how long it stays glowing that depends on the light source that you would have on it along with a UV light I do suggest that you get a black light/ uv light if you do not have oneI hope this is helpful to you good luck^-^

Yes! Both of the first two projects that I used this on were painted with acrylics. In case anyone is curious, I used Golden Acrylics - They're awesome! Other things I've coated with this are block printer's ink, Danish oil, charred wood, and just plain wood. The ink was water based, thick, and reluctant to dry, but the Varathane coated it well. If you scorch wood, clean off the loose bits and dust before coating with anything. Danish oil worked well enough, but I had mixed it with acrylic paint to see how it would work as a wood coloring so that may have made it easier to clear coat with this. Of course, plain wood worked wonderful! If you want a nice, sturdy, antique matte finish; apply the coat with a paper towel and rub it on like you would Danish oil. Looks awesome!

Plastic bowls can have odor and stain issues. That's why I do not use these bowls for food storage. I use these bowls only to mix or prepare ingredients, then wash them by hand immediately. I have avoided using them for tomato based foods as well because I do not want the pretty colors stained by tomato. I use stainless steel or glass bowls for that. I have used these plastic bowls for dry ingredients, mixing up egg salad, and fruit salads, and a muffin batter.

This product is good for your application - wait at least 4 days after the last application before putting bowls into service - this will allow all the solvents to evaporate off. Another option is the Howard butcher block conditioner which does not hold up as well and is intended for use on wooden butcher blocks - there are no solvents in this product with the majority of the carrier being bees wax - its not as water resistant but it is all natural. This product is also avilable on Amazon.

You could, but it will not be a thick top coat bar finish like an epoxy. I make my own Salad Bowl Finish by purchasing General Finishes "Arm-R-Seal" and thinning it out with 50/50 ratio with mineral spirits. It is the same thing as General Finishes Salad Bowl Finish for about 1/2 the price.

I would not suggest this product be used on your wooden cutting board. There are other products on the market that are safe for using where food will come in contact with it. Mineral Oil, Bee's Wax, and a product called Salad bowl finish. I use these on my wooden bowls.

Yes, if you're adding them to a medium. They're very beautiful to work with. I've blended some in my acrylic paints for varying effects!

They would work well with acrylic paint. I don't know about baking them, they are paper.

I do not belive so. It is smooth and w/o bumps and cracks but is pourous bc my salad dressing "sweats" out from the bottom of the bowl. I use olive oil, lime,salt and a bit of vinegar. Hope this helps.

I use it in my plastic 1 gallon and noting has melted yet. I don't know about acrylic though. I think it would be fine, it doesn't get too hot to touch..

This "paint" is for coloring FOOD only. That's what make it edible. You can use whatever utensils you choose to apply it to whatever you want to apply it too. On the package the ingredients are water, sugar and coloring. Does that answer help? I hope this make sense for you.
