Rinse your brush thoroughly with water after use to remove all pigment. Ensure the paint tube is closed tightly to preserve the paint's quality for future use. — Clean Up ## Product details | Field | Value | |---|---| | Pigment Codes | PR 177, PV 19, PR 149 | | Binder | Pure Gum Arabic | | Fillers | None | | Special Features | Reflective | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | | Serving Size | 15ml (0.5 Fl Oz) tube | | Reapplication | Reactivates with water for easy use | | Drying Time | Fast-drying | | Transparency | Very Transparent | | Granulation | Non-granulating | | Staining | Medium staining | | Lightfastness | Excellent | | Cost per use | 15ml tube at ~1ml/day = ~15 days of use: ₹172 per day | | Shelf life after opening | 12 months (typical for watercolors) | | Contraindications | Not suitable for bulk craft projects requiring large volumes; may contain pigments requiring careful handling if ingested. | | Allergens / common irritants | Pigments PR 177, PV 19, PR 149.
