Will this paint chip or peel when used to paint the lips on reborn dolls, and do I need to use a sealer on the lips before or after painting them?

I have not had the problem of peeling, but I do use a glossy sealer on the lips and nails after painting. This gives a little shine and looks moist.

Depends on how deep the crack is. There are fillers on the market for deep chips. This is like paint. And like paint, it will only fill in very shallow chips and scratches. It's not expensive, so all you can do is give it a try. It is very good for covering up any chips that exposed a different color beneath the enamel. So, yes it is just cosmetic, but you can stretch it's limits pretty far. It dries to really durable hard surface that will eventually scrub off if you use a lot of comet, but then you can just "paint" it again.

Patricia, Thank you for the question. The answer is Yes it will work. The idea of the filler is to fill scratches and then you can level the repair and seal and polish to the desired shine. The wax will feel hard on the porcelain, but after you level the repair, you will be in good shape. Color is the priority, so please take your time to blend the colors to get exactly where you want to be. You can view a video on repairs on YouTube as well. Thank you - Konig

It all depends on what your paint looks like and what you're trying to do. I would clay/wash/wax with a good wax and you'll be set

I did not reseal. This product didn't seem to remove anything but the etch marks. It worked very well . We have a travertine top that seems to get marks from time to time. We use this to remove the etch and then we use the polish seems to be working

I don't know, but it wouldn't surprise me if it did remove the permanent marker from the doll's face. Because the ink will have soaked into the wood, it may not remove any of it, but it's worth a try. If the wood table has a build up of wax, the eraser might remove enough wax to get below the ink. This product is inexpensive, so if it doesn't work for you, you'll find many other uses for it.

My two teen age daughters use these. They use them for designs and as a polish. I know when they,put on the designs it doesn't chip. I am not sure when they use it as a polish. Good luck, they are happy with it.

It has a finish on it, but I wouldn't call it totaly sealed. I think if it was lightly sanded the new paint would stick. Have you considered chaulk paint? It adheres to almost any surface without any if little prep work.

I've only ever mixed it with resin which turn out quite well, i do have a paint product as well which i discovered is simply the powder in a translucent once dry paint but the powder was gritty not dissolved in the paint which is how I found out, so I'm not sure if it would actually disolve, though you have my interest, I make fairies that glow and a snow globe type of trinket would be very interesting, I believe I will do some mixing this afternoon and relate my findings

There are numerous reasons this may happen. 1st...do NOT get product on cuticle or skin or it WILL peel! 2nd...be sure to 'seal' the free edge. This is CRUCIAL! Paint product on the end of the free edge. Failure to do this WILL result in peeling! 3rd...you may have an oily nail bed. Try using PH bond before using the foundation coat. And make sure your nails are clean and completely free of any lotions or oils before you start! Good luck!

Even masking tape becomes one with paint if left on more than a few days. It's more a question of when not if. I have no direct experience but would guess you would be okay for a day or two. It has a stickiness similar to electrical tape.

I would suggest a cleaner/wax. Sealers will seal any contaminants in; for this reason, you should always clean the paint as well as possible prior to application.

We bought these last year for a festival. When it was done, I cleaned the paint (took a wet tissue and wiped the top of the paints) in order to get the pink smear off the white...the blue smeared in the yellow..etc. (we had some young kids wanting to paint, and they would forget to rinse in between.) Then I took press and seal saran wrap, and put over the top of the tray. Put it away until this year. I pulled it out, and the paints were dry, but you simply wet your brush and they are alive and well again. We used 2 kits for 2 festivals that were a year apart. Painted around 80 faces this year, and did about 150 faces last year with the 2 kits. Need to buy more for next year, but they will keep. We bought these last year for a festival.

If you apply the sealer at the end, it should be ok. My projects are still intact and not faded or tarnished.

Depends. This is a cure so it leaves a fairly thick glossy coat over whatever you paint. A couple of coats of primer and then paint worked just fine for me but there was a noticeable lip where the whiteboard paint had stopped. It's hard to see but easy to feel and once you've noticed it then you'll see it every time you look. Sanding down the lip resolved the problem just fine. If you don't stop midway across a flat surface then just primer and paint will work as normal, maybe one more coat of primer.

Polymer clay can react with lacquers and enamels and Tamiya is a lacquer based primer. It would also depend on the make-up of the clay. It might be fine or it might not. You could experiment but if you don't want to take a chance then maybe try something else, like you said it can take a few months before going sticky. Anything acrylic or water based should be safe on polymer clay.You don't even need to prime if you clean the surface of any oils/dirt/etc. before applying paint. If you want to have a nice basecoat you could just paint on a layer or two of gesso or acrylic paint. If you want a spray primer Krylon's primer is acrylic I believe so that might work.
