- Each color square includes five perforated strips. Remove the plastic backing from the paint strips by bending on the perforated line.
- Follow the Color Mixing Guide to formulate your paint. Only use a total of 5 small strips for any color you mix.
- Fill paint pots with base paint to the fill line, but don't overfill.
- Turn the crank faster to mix the paint more quickly. It can take up to a minute for paint to thoroughly mix. Only turn in one direction.
- If strips don't completely dissolve in 60 seconds, add a small amount of base paint.
- If the crank gets stuck and won't turn, gently lift the paint pot mixer up and down from the back of the unit to release the gears.
