You can use Unicorn SPiT on a wide variety of porous and non-porous surfaces, including bare or finished wood, glass, metal, fabric, pottery, wicker, concrete, canvas, leather, laminate, and paper. Because it is water-based, you can apply it as a vibrant paint, dilute it for a watercolor/stain effect, or use it as a glaze over an existing finish.

Alcohol inks work best on smooth, non-porous surfaces that allow the pigments to flow, blend, and evaporate freely. If a surface is too porous, the ink will absorb immediately and become impossible to manipulate.
Unicorn SPiT works on glass! Our concentrated gel can be used as a paint, stain, or glaze. Just add water or water based sealants or use in full concentration for these amazing techniques!
To cover and permanently block stains, the secret is using a heavy-duty stain-blocking primer rather than standard wall paint. The best overall options are Zinsser B-I-N Shellac-Based Primer for severe stains (water, smoke) and KILZ Original Oil-Based Primer for standard household stains and odors.
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).
Unicorn SPiT dries rapidly, usually taking anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes to become dry to the touch. However, total drying and curing time can span from 3 minutes up to 48 hours depending on how thickly it was applied, the material, humidity, and temperature.
The beauty of Gel Stain comes from thick thick urethane which can carry a LOT of color to any surface, but that color must be sealed in with top coat. An added bonus of top coat is that it also protects the wood from drying out. Think of stain as the color and top coat as the sealer and protectant.
To make paint stick to glass permanently, you must use acrylic enamel, solvent-based paints, or baked multi-surface paints. Traditional craft acrylics will peel, so these specialized formulations with strong binding properties are required to ensure long-term durability.
Bob Ross primes his canvases using Liquid White, Liquid Black, or Liquid Clear as the foundational base for his famous wet-on-wet technique. These specially formulated liquid oil paints are applied in a very thin layer across a pre-gessoed canvas. This creates a slick, wet surface that allows thicker oil paints to easily glide, slide, and blend together.
Yes, Mod Podge can seal wood. It acts as an excellent all-in-one glue, sealer, and finish for indoor decorative items, decoupage projects, and minor craft pieces. However, it is primarily water-based and should not be used for high-moisture areas or heavy-duty outdoor wear without additional protection.
Yes. If the wood was stained with a mineral based stain, wait at least 48 hours (I like to wait a week) before painting. If it is stained with a water based stain, you can paint over it as soon as it is dried.
Hardest To Remove Stains on Clothes
To make a house feel more spacious, opt for light, airy neutrals and soft, cool tones. These colors reflect the maximum amount of natural light and create an optical illusion that makes walls appear to recede.
Mix Unicorn SPiT with Wise Owl Paint, CeCe Caldwell's Paints or any soft wax or hemp paste of your choice. Mix just a dab of SPiT into a tablespoon of wax to make it a dark, amber, antique, white or any color wax. Not only is every color of stain at your fingertips, now every color wax is there too!!
While gel stain is great for hiding wood grain and working with pre-finished pieces, its heavy, paint-like consistency comes with several major drawbacks. It often hides the natural beauty of the wood, struggles with intricate corners, and requires long drying times.
What makes this water 'hard' is its high level of dissolved minerals, such as calcium and magnesium. This means that, when water evaporates off the surface of glass, the minerals are left behind. Over time, this builds up to a white, cloudy, chalky stain, which becomes more difficult to remove the longer they're left.
Alcohol ink on glass is not permanent until it has been sealed. Though it may feel dry to the touch, alcohol ink can be reactivated by any kind of moisture until it has been sealed with UV archival spray.
Adding baking soda to acrylic paint acts as a thickening and texturizing agent, turning the paint into a thick, gritty paste with a matte finish. While great for crafts and faux-ceramic decor, it disrupts the paint’s chemical binders, which can cause cracking and peeling over time.
Yes, you can seal alcohol ink with Mod Podge, but you must use the spray-on version. Using the traditional brush-on Mod Podge directly over dry alcohol ink will cause the ink to smear, bleed, and lift, completely ruining your artwork.
