    As a swede who has done my fair share of babysitting, I can confidently confirm that the MÅLA paints have two purposes: Kids can eat it without dying and it comes off when you inevitably have to put the little ones in the tub and hose them off :D

    @francistiffany405 Рік тому +578

    IKEA Måla paint is tempera, not acrylic.
    It has a completely different binder that is designed to be child-friendly and washable (mostly). The reactivation and lifting is part of the nature of this binder, not a faulty feature.

    • @DonVigaDeFierro
      @DonVigaDeFierro Рік тому +75

      Ah, that absolutely explains it. It's basically finger paint.

    • @fransaacs
      @fransaacs Рік тому +8

      I kept thinking if only Jay would use an acrylic medium like GW's Contrast or Lahmian, or perhaps Liquitex Matte. Quite the feat to paint with a product that will reactive to the moisture on your finger tips or crack and flake off if roughly handled once dry.

    • @ImaginarySpace
      @ImaginarySpace Рік тому +30

      "MÅLA-series has everything, what a child needs..." should indeed give a strong hint on what the target audience is for this product. 😄

    • @AbsolXGuardian
      @AbsolXGuardian Рік тому +5

      That explains why it was so bad. I only have minimal experience in painting miniatures- as in I've painted one. But I've also repainted Pokemon figurines. It feels very different from painting miniatures, they're larger with more flat surfaces. I had to use my regular acrylic paint, which isn't paint for young children, but isn't fancy stuff; because I needed a palette more colorful than the Star Wars Legion paint set. The main difference was that I couldn't get a small amount of paint out at once and a bit more water was needed. Any problems with my Pokemon figurines are the result of me, not my tools.
      It would be interesting to see Jay try the same challenge again with the tubes of entry level acrylic paint you can get at general craft supply stores. What's the difference between acrylic and acrylic meant for miniature painting?

    I work at Ikea, MALA is the kids line of product so the Paint has got to be safe enough for little children to use and not ruin the whole home lol, so basically you can consider it more as a toy than real paint... That said, i believe the work you did with this miniature is still pretty good considering what you were working with - a "toy Paint" basically! Cheers

    My art teacher used to say: A good artist will make a masterpiece with the best material. A great artist will make a masterpiece with any material.
    Yep. Called it 10:42
    But for real, those paints aren't even mediocre, they are quite bad even to make effects and washes. You painted a space marine with literal finger paint, and it turned out presentable. Very enlightening experiment.

  • @jensofsweden
    @jensofsweden Рік тому +74

    I don't think those are even acrylics but some kind of water-based paint that doesn't dry water proof. Try leaving the space marine in a glass of water and see if the water strips the paint.

    • @TylerProvick

I've got a massive collection from when I first got into D&D and started figuring out miniature painting.

    I recently stumbled about some awesome wall paints from a local furniture megastore. 250ml for 3 bucks and contrary to typical craft paint they are loaded with pigments to a point that thinning them by a factor of 4 to 5 still doesnt destroy the consistency or coverage. They even work trough an airbrush and mix with other colors without turning into greyish brown sludge. That said i did mix in some of my homebrew magic medium/thinners to adjust consistency and flow regular water probably ruins it just like any other paint if you add too much.
    For anyone interested it was "Poco Abtönfarbe" from the simmilarly named furniture store Poco but i guess those paints are available in many Hardware stores as well.

    you might try to check out on the wall paint sample testers. they are very cheap, (for example goodhome is 1.5 gbp per 50ml pot ), and there's wide variety of colours and types .
    I never tried them on minis, but they are quite useful for painting terrain pieces and buildings on the cheap. And since they are supposed to go on house walls they tend to be quite durable.
