Any problems with stuff soaking through? Planning to use for a painting craft. Thanks!

My grand baby and I make soap with them, so I really can't answer your question but I think unless you spilled paint on you I think they would be fine, and a painting project sounds like big fun!!

I would guess that it is not water 'proof' - maybe best described as moisture-resistant. It would depend on the amount of liquid, whether it soaks through. It is machine washable though.

Instead of just a "no", I will go a little more in-depth. While water does bead after contacting the foam, it tends to absorb a fraction of it leaving the surface moist but not soaking. It shows that water, while mostly being deflected, will soak through the foam. Possibly damaging any glue behind it.

I use mine for knitting projects and have no problems at all. Any plastic will mold if exposed long term to very damp conditions. If I was worried about such, I would periodically turn it inside out and swab with bleach and let it dry before using it again.

I have a jar filled with distilled water ready for when I am done painting. I attach it immediately, and spray until it comes out clear. Then I take it apart, and clean it gently. It isn't any worse than cleaning a paint brush.

I use a soft damp paper towel, then a dry paper towel. The paints also wash out of clothes.It's not paints. It's markers. They're just real juicy. Totally washable in my experience.

They are not waterproof in my experience unfortunately. No idea if they can be used with watercolors but if you're writing on something wet they probably won't do well.

The only problem I had was one student who wiped her messy paint covered hand across her apron. The regular bumping up onto the paper or brush during regular use did not bleed through. I guess it would depend on the messiness level of the kids. We used the smocks for over a year with just the one situation.

I don't think it would transfer very well. I also don't think it would last... it is intended to clean off quickly after drying. You might want to check with an art forum online to get recommendations. Good luck.

I haven't tried spray paint, and I don' know what the consistency would be like (how wet). But because a simple magic marker will soak through, in my opinion, I think spray paint would soak through the paper, too.

I have used it with different levels of liquid and no problem. The key is you have to have enough liquid to cover the item you are cleaning.

Can't advise on fabric paint. Advised not to tumble dry, but did anyway. Slight shrinkage. I use the bags for groceries, including meat, so they get washed after shopping. Pleased with quality.

I have not had any problem like that. The fibers are fully encased so there is little likelihood that they will escape and make a mess.

Not that I have ever experienced. It isn't as "wet" as you may be expecting. I really like it and it works for all the projects I have tried it with. Hope this helps!

I would say from my experience that you would make a tremendous mess, I would recommend putting visqueen plastic underneath if you are splattering paint on the canvas for your art project and want to protect the floor underneath. This is a light duty cloth and a whole bucket of paint (quart or gallon) would likely be a disaster. If the canvas is not necessary to your art project I would forego it and just use visqueen, but watch out because it will be slippery after it has paint on it.

I use this for mosaics and have never had a problem. I use a big bottle to refill a small bottle (easier to work with) and neither one has dried up.

cant answer for clothes as I just use it for felt, but in a very short time, since all the water has been removed.
