❓ Here are some frequently asked questions!
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Q.1Is it OK to burn the plastic immediately after drawing on it?
-
A.1If you burn it before the ink is dry, it may bleed, so we recommend that you let it dry for 10-15 minutes before baking.
-
Q.2Which color looks best after baking?
-
A.2White, black, gold, and silver are recommended because they retain their colors well after firing.
-
Q.3The color is uneven. What should I do?
-
A.3It is a good idea to make trial drawings until the ink becomes stable. The trick is to apply it quickly in one direction.
-
Q.4Can I draw from the reverse side?
-
A.4Yes, you can draw from the back if it is transparent plastic. If the surface is too smooth to draw on, lightly sand the surface to make it easier.
-
Q.5 What is the best way to draw?The lines I drew became thicker after baking.
-
A.5Plastic canvas shrinks to about 1/3 its original size when baked, so the lines will appear thicker in proportion. If you want a thin finish, the trick is to draw finer and thinner lines.
-
Q.6Is it possible to apply colors after baking?
-
A.6Yes, it is possible to paint after firing, but it may be difficult to fix the color because of the smooth surface. Protecting the top with varnish or resin will prevent the color from fading.
-
Q.7The color rubs off after painting.
-
A.7If the drying time is short, rubbing or color migration is likely to occur. Allow at least 10 minutes, preferably 15 minutes, to dry before touching.
-
Q.8There are several types of Poskas, which one should I choose?
-
A.8We recommend "fine type (PC-3M)" for plastic bans. Ultra-fine type has less ink and tends to make colors lighter, while bold type has lines that are too thick and easily crushed.
-
Q.9What should I do if the surface is uneven?
-
A.9File the surface lightly and then paint on it for a clean finish. If you are concerned about the file marks, we recommend coating the surface with resin or varnish.
-
Q.10Is it safe to use with children?
-
A.10Posca is a water-based pigment ink with little odor and is very safe. However, an adult must always accompany the child when baking plastic bans because of the high temperatures involved.
