The glitter in my Sparkling Unicorn Spit has settled what should I do?

GLITTER SEPARATION: To prevent glitter from settling or to reconstitute product that appears separated due to the product sitting for long periods of time, store Unicorn SPiT SPARKLiNG upside down (with the cap facing downward). Turn bottle right side up 15-20 minutes before use. Immediately before using, shake the bottle well to reconstitute the mixture.

My Sparkling Unicorn Spit looks like it’s separated is it ok to use?

Yes, now it’s going to need a very good shake. TIP : To keep Unicorn SPiT SPARKLiNG viscous, place a small piece of plastic wrap over the threads of the bottle after use and screw cap on over plastic wrap. This will keep your Unicorn SPiT SPARKLiNG more air-tight between uses and prevent leaking.

Will UNICORN SPiT applied to fabric be water resistant and machine washable?

Yes, fabric will retain much of the Unicorn SPiT colour if treated before washing (see various methods below)*. For best results, wash in cold water by hand (with very little laundry detergent). Rinse with cold water. Various methods to increase the colourfastness of the Unicorn SPiT before washing are as follows:
Fabric Medium: Mix a Fabric Medium with Unicorn SPiT according to instructions on the Fabric Medium bottle.
Allure® Dimensional Design Adhesive Paint: Mix Unicorn SPiT with Allure Gloss (Shiny Clear) in a 1:1 ratio. Dry flat 5 hours. Washable after 72 hours.
Non-water-based fabric protectant: Let Unicorn SPiT dry. Apply protectant. Allow to dry as indicated on the product. Let set for 24 hours before washing.
Hair Dryer: Let Unicorn SPiT dry. Use hottest blow dryer setting to heat fabric until fabric is hot. Allow to cool back down to room temperature. Let set for 24 hours before washing.
Iron: Let Unicorn SPiT dry. Put iron on the hottest setting (without moisture). Lay wax paper over fabric. Iron front and back of fabric until hot. Allow to cool back down to room temperature. Let set for 24 hours before washing.
Vinegar: Put fabric with dried Unicorn SPiT design in cold water/vinegar at a 1:1 ratio mix. Let set in vinegar for 24 hours. Rinse with cold water and a very small amount of laundry detergent immediately after removing from the water/vinegar solution. Lay flat to dry.
Clothes dryer: Put fabric with dried Unicorn SPiT design in dryer for 1 hour on the hottest setting. Remove and allow to cool to room temperature. Let set for 24 hours before washing.
*ZiaTeal is not a colourfast colour. Use other colours if the project will be exposed to moisture.
NOTE: If a more washed-out look is desired: Let set for 24 hours before washing. Machine wash in gentle cycle with cold water. Machine dry if desired.

Can custom colours be created?

Yes. Mix Unicorn SPiT colours together to create your own special colour OR mix most any water-based paint (chalk style or mineral based) with Unicorn SPiT to create custom colours.

Do the Sparkling colours and the Artistic Vivations range mix with the standard Unicorn SPiT?

Yes the colours all mix and that’s why the total amount of colours possible is only limited by your imagination.

PAINT / HEAVY GLAZE or ANTIQUING / DRY BRUSHING 0 – 10%
