The absence of micro plastics and harsh chemicals gives UNiCORN SPiT the ability to dry in your brushes, paint pallets and stencils without damaging them. Simply mist with water to reactivate the pigments for a second go or wash away. Easy water clean up while being eco safe.
UNiCORN SPiT® dries quickly. Dry time is approximately 3 minutes to 48 hours depending on material, technique, humidity and temperature. A dull chalky finish will appear letting you know when it’s dry. Great for busy lifestyles, creating on the go and classes.
Seal with any non-water based coating and watch the MAGiC as the chalky finish disappears & colors become vibrant right before your eyes.
Sealing with a satin or matte finish will achieve a two dimensional result. Multiple coats of gloss topcoat or one coat of epoxy / resin like FAMOWOOD GLAZE COAT will result in a unique, deep three dimensional effect.
Save space and money by mixing UNiCORN SPiT with an array of clear diluting agents. Replace the need of keeping stock of multiple colors of fabric paint, alcohol ink, chalk paste, self sealing stains, glass paint, stamping ink and more! You can make it all on your own with UNiCORN SPiT!

How to use UNiCORN SPiT for Art & Refinishing?
Apply the following UNiCORN SPiT applications to painted, sealed or bare surfaces including but not limited to metal, pottery, concrete, ceramics, plastic, laminate, paper, fabric & leather after completing the surface preparation.
All of the following directions pertain to our Original & SPARKLiNG lines. Not all directions will work with the Metallic line & will be noted.
PAINT
1. Use UNiCORN SPiT right out of the bottle with a paint brush for opaque paint.
2. Seal between coats for heavier coverage or color layering.
GEL OR LIQUID WATERCOLOR
1. Use UNiCORN SPiT in place of gel or liquid water color.
2. Apply with traditional gel or liquid water color techniques but use more water as it is very potent.
DRY / HARD WATERCOLOR
1. Mix UNiCORN SPiT with 1/2 parts water.
2. Refill water color pallets with mixture
3. Allow to dry or freeze
4. Apply with traditional dry / hard watercolor techniques.
WOOD STAIN
1. Mist raw wood surface with water to open the pores. No wood conditioner needed if wood is not at risk of cracking due to dryness.
2. Apply one or multiple colors of diluted UNiCORN SPiT to surface with sprayer, foam pad, brush or cloth following the grain. (You can also dilute as you go when using water by applying UNiCORN SPiT directly to a water wet brush while utilizing a water mister to blend the color in.)
3. Allow to dry. Dry time is approximately 3 minutes to 48 hours (depending on material, humidity and temperature) or until a chalky finish appears.
4. (Optional) After drying, lightly buff the surface with a fine grade sandpaper (120-220 grit) or extra-fine steel wool (following the grain) to distress or give a worn look.
5. Dust thoroughly.
GLASS STAIN or GLASS PAINT
1. Prepare Surface
2. For a semi solid/non-transparent color, apply UNiCORN SPiT directly to prepared glass.
For translucent results (stained-glass style) mix 1 part UNiCORN SPiT with 4-10 parts WATER-BASED decoupage before applying to glass. The lower the ration of UNiCORN SPiT results in a more translucent effect. (Colors will dull slightly in this “wet” stage but return when cured or sealed.)
3. Apply directly to prepared glass.
4. Allow to cure following the decoupage manufacturer’s directions or until a solid chalky finish appears.
NOTE: When using decoupage as the diluting agent, apply a second coat of clear decoupage following the curing of the first for durability.
COUNTERTOP SURFACING
1. Prepare surface
2. Lightly with 220 sandpaper to remove any gloss.
3. Apply UNiCORN SPiT in an array of techniques. (A base coat of paint or primer is optional)
4. Allow to dry / cure
5. Seal: We recommend sealing countertops with an epoxy / resin, such as Famowood Glaze Coat.
ALCOHOL INK
1. Prepare Surface.
2. Mix UNiCORN SPiT with 5-20 parts 71% Isopropyl Alcohol. (Higher alcohol ratio will achieve a lighter pigment. Lower ratio alcohol will achieve a deeper / stronger pigment.)
4. Mix colors to achieve custom colors.
5. Apply using common alcohol ink practices.
NOTE: Some mixes may need minerals strained out before use.
EPOXY / RESIN TINT
1. Prepare surface.
2. Mix epoxy or resin per manufacturer’s directions.
3. Add 1 part UNiCORN SPiT to 10-20 parts Epoxy/Resin immediately at the beginning of allotted working time.(The lower ration of UNiCORN SPiT results a more translucent effect.)
4. Stir well until fully incorporated.
6. Allow to cure / harden according to epoxy / resin manufacturer’s directions.
AUTOMOTIVE / METAL PAINT
1. Prepare surface
2. Sand prepared surface lightly with 220 sandpaper to remove any gloss
3. A base coat of primer is optional.
4. Apply UNiCORN SPiT in an array of techniques.
CHALK PASTE FOR SCREEN AND TRADITIONAL STENCILS
1. Prepare surface
2. Mix UNiCORN SPiT with stencil powder following manufacturers directions in resealable container.
3. Allow to develop.
4. Apply following traditional techniques.
5. Easily remove wet or dried product design from chalk board or well sealed surfaces with damp cloth at your leisure.
6. To make permanent- seal.
FLOW / FLUID ART
1. Mix 1 parts UNiCORN SPiT, 1/2 parts water with 4-10 parts paint extender / pouring medium. The lower the ration of UNiCORN SPiT results in a more translucent effect. (Colors will dull slightly in this “wet” stage but turn vibrant again once cured and sealed.)
2. Add a few drops of cell serum for large cells is optional. UNiCORN SPiT creates small cells naturally due to the existing scented oil.
3. Apply flow mixture to level prepared surface.
4. Allow to cure / harden for 24 - 48 hours (depending on material, humidity and temperature) or until a solid chalky finish appears.
5. No need to powder and clean oil off unless pooling of added cell serum is present.
6. Seal using epoxy / resin or top coat of choice.
How do you prep laminate?
1. Surface Prep: Clean surface with degreasing agent, then rinse, removing any residue. Sand cleaned surface lightly with 220 sandpaper to remove any gloss. Clean all sanding dust and allow to dry. A base coat of paint is not required.

Reviews for "The Magic Cell Maker: Adding a Pop of Color to Your Artwork"
1. Karen - 1/5 stars - I was really disappointed with the magic cell maker for adding vibrant colors. It simply did not work as advertised. The colors were dull and faded and did not give my projects the vibrant look I was expecting. I followed all the instructions carefully and even tried different techniques, but nothing seemed to work. I feel like I wasted my money on a product that does not live up to its claims.
2. John - 2/5 stars - The magic cell maker for adding vibrant colors fell short of my expectations. While it did create some interesting cell patterns, I found that the colors were not vibrant at all. They turned out quite dull and lacked the vibrancy I was hoping for. Additionally, the instructions were not very clear, and it took me a while to figure out how to use the product properly. Overall, I was not impressed and would not recommend it to others.
3. Lisa - 2/5 stars - I bought the magic cell maker for adding vibrant colors with high hopes, only to be left disappointed. The colors did not pop like I expected and instead appeared washed out. The product also seemed to leave a residue on my artwork, making it look messy. It was frustrating and a waste of my time and money. I would advise others to explore alternative options before investing in this product.
4. Michael - 1/5 stars - The magic cell maker for adding vibrant colors was a complete letdown. The colors it produced were far from vibrant and lacked the saturation I desired. I tried different techniques and even experimented with different mediums, but nothing seemed to improve the lackluster results. The product did not live up to its promises, and I would not recommend it to anyone looking for vibrant colors in their artwork.
