Bleed checker 4040 - CREATEX

The Createx 4040 Bleed Checker is a product specially designed to be used as a undercoat or an intercoat to help prevent the "bleeding" of the underlying colors. This is particularly useful when using fluorescent colors or certain colors based on dyes that tend to bleed through the upper paint layers.

The 4040 Bleed Checker is based on water, not toxic and compatible with all Createx paintings. It can be applied with a brush, a roll or an airbrush, which makes it very versatile.

For optimal use, it is generally recommended to dilute the 4040 Bleed Checker with the 4012 High Performance Reducer of Createx, although it depend on the favorite application method and viscosity.

Once applied and dried, it forms a transparent layer which helps to prevent the underlying colors from bleeding through, while retaining the liveliness of the colors of the superior paint layer.

It is important to note that the 4040 Bleed Checker is not a varnish and should not be used as such. It is a specific product designed to improve the performance of paintings by avoiding color bleeding.

The Createx 4040 Bleed Checker is designed to prevent bleeding from underlying colors when applying additional paint layers. Here are some tips for using it correctly:

Preparation: Make sure the surface you are going to paint is clean and dry. This will obtain optimal grip.
Dilution: Createx 4040 may require dilution, in particular for an application to the airbrush. Use the Createx 4012 High Performance Reduce to obtain the desired viscosity.
Application: Apply the 4040 Bleed Checker as an undercoat or an intercoat on the basic color before superimposing the other colors. This can be done using a brush, a roll or an airbrush.
Drying: Let the 4040 Bleed Checker dry completely before applying the next layer of paint. This can take from a few minutes to an hour, depending on the conditions of your environment.
Superposition of the diapers: once the 4040 has dried, you can apply the next layer of paint. The 4040 will act like a barrier, preventing the underlying colors from bleeding through the new layer.
Cleaning: After use, be sure to correctly clean your equipment to prevent paint from drying up and cause obstructions.
Remember, the 4040 Bleed Checker is not a varnish and should not be used as such. It is specifically designed to improve the performance of your paintings by preventing color bleeding.
