Rubber
Rubber, versatile and tactile, offers a unique surface for your creative expressions. With SurfPaints acrylic markers, you can add vibrant colors and designs to rubber surfaces, making them truly your own. Let's dive into the simple steps:
Preparation
Painting a rubber surface with SurfPaints acrylic paint pens involves a straightforward process. Start by cleaning the rubber thoroughly, removing any dirt, dust, or oils, using a mild detergent or rubbing alcohol. Ensure the rubber surface is smooth and free of imperfections; you may need to sand or prime it for better paint adhesion.
Painting
Before applying the paint to your main project, it's wise to conduct a test on a small, inconspicuous area of the rubber to check how well it adheres and achieves the desired look.
Once you're ready to proceed, press the pen's tip down on a scrap surface to initiate the paint flow, then apply it to the rubber surface with even strokes. It's often better to apply multiple thin coats than one thick coat.
Allow the paint to dry completely between coats and after the final application, which may take several minutes to an hour depending on environmental conditions.
Preserving Your Artwork
Once your masterpiece is dry, consider using a clear, water-based sealant for added protection.
Hold the spray can about 30 cm away from the surface and apply using gentle, circular motions.
Choose between matte or gloss sealant based on your desired finish.
