The clogging of an aerosol can have 2 causes:

1. The cap (nozzle) is clogged by frequent use.

Solution: To make the cap usable again, you can soak the cap in a container with turpentine for at least 24 hours. After this you can clear the entrances with a needle and spray it with air. A faster and easier option is to make sure you have some spare caps. A fresh cap works wonders! You can also use the MTN Pro Solvent cap cleaner, this aerosol is developed to unclog caps.

Prevention: the frequent use of a cap causes the nozzle passage to slowly clog due to dried paint. To prevent this, it is advisable to turn the aerosol upside down after each use and spray the cap clean with air only.

2. The straw inside the aerosol is clogged with pigment powder.

The fact that the straw is clogged may be because it was not shaken properly, or because the aerosol has been used in cold temperatures. In both cases the pigment (powder) is not mixed with the solvent.

Solution: First shake the aerosol well for 2 minutes and then put on a new cap with a wide spray, like the Astro Fatcap or Pink Dot Fat Cap. Press the cap as hard as possible, while making a circular movement. As soon as the straw is free, hold the aerosol upside down again and spray the straw clean with air.

Prevention: You can prevent blockage by always shaking the aerosol well before use and using and storing the aerosol in a place where it is not too cold.

The paint markers from Posca, Molotow, Pintor, Krink, QBIX and Kreul work with a pump system. To get the paint flowing, shake the marker well and then pump it for 1-2 minutes on a test surface. After + – 30 sec the point / tip will slowly fill with paint. This is only necessary with new markers. The tip can also be dried out because the cap wasn’t put on properly.

We recommend the MTN Water Based product line for children. This is a water-based and odourless paint. The aerosol cans are also somewhat smaller in size (300ml or 100ml) so that children can easily work with them. Take a look at our fun workshop packs!

You can certainly use the MTN94, MTN Hardcore2 and MTN Water Based spray paints on textiles. Please note: they are not textile paints and can therefore fade over time.

Not completely satisfied with your artwork or project? Don’t worry, you can remove the paint with MTN Pro Paint Stripper or Solvent. This will make the paint layer dissolve, after which you can easily remove the residue with, for example, a paint scraper.

A primer can ensure a better adhesion of the paint or as protection of the substrate. A primer is not always necessary, but it is recommended in the following cases. If you are working on a bare surface that is made of metal, carbon, plastic or foam, we recommend pre-treating it with a primer. In this way, the colour adheres better and your desired paint layer stays in place. If you want to protect your work and make it scratch-resistant, we recommend finishing it with a varnish or lacquer layer.

With a varnish, your project or artwork is better protected against external influences. In addition, varnish ensures that colours stand out better and do not discolour by UV light.

It is advisable to use a varnish of the same brand as that of your surface. Each brand contains a different chemical composition, which can cause an unexpected chemical reaction. Depending on the basis of your varnish, the following rules of thumb apply:

Water-based and acrylic-based varnishes can be used on almost all surfaces, including synthetic ones. The other way around often does not work. A synthetic varnish over a water-based coat is not recommended.

Plastics are quite sensitive and therefore we recommend to use a primer if you plan to work with synthetic paint. You can use the MTN Pro Plastic Primer for this.

The best primer for aluminium, zinc and other complicated metals is the MTN Pro Wash Primer. Apply 1-2 coats of primer and apply MTN94 or MTN Hardcore2 within 20-30 minutes. It is best to do this when the primer is still “wet”. After an hour, the paint starts with a number of chemical processes and if you then apply a new coat with paint or varnish, it can damage it.

You can use MTN94 / MTN Hardcore2 / MTN Water Based spray paint on wood. Make sure the surface is clean and degreased and lightly sand an already painted surface.

The rule of thumb is: with a 400ml aerosol you can cover about 2m2. With a spray can of 300ml that is about 1.5m2 and with 100ml you cover about 0.5m2. And remember, you’d rather have too much paint than too little 😉
