What is it?
An acrylic polymer emulsion - 100% Water based
No PPE necessary but just as with many paints, I still wear gloves and open a window. It’s just a good idea 🧤
It’s sticky and a great adherent (besides heat resistant top coat and embellishing medium), so I use baby wipes if I get any on my skin. Easy Peasy!
🌙 Storage?
Store in a dark, cool place, without extreme temp changes.
⏰ Dry Time?
We’ve found that in dry climates such as Utah, a thin coat of LUXE WaterFX (any variety) can dry as quickly as 8 - 24 hrs whereas more humid climates might take 48 hrs.
The thickness of the coat matters tremendously.
When sealing a mug, a thin coat works well and dries within 1 day (Click here for mug sealing video)
Touch the outer edge of your art after 6-12 hours. If it’s tacky at all don’t touch any further! That means it’s not dry yet and can use another 6 hours.
Don’t ever touch the middle- that’s where it’ll be wettest and leave a mark so stick to the outer edges when testing.
⏰ Shelf Life?
There’s just 2 variables for qualifying LUXE WaterFX shelf life, unopened or opened.
Unopened WaterFX in its original packaging can have a shelf life of more than 3 years if it is kept in a cool, dark environment.
Once your WaterFX is opened, the shelf life is much more difficult to qualify and depends on material storage, climatic conditions, cross contamination and properly sealed closure.
Because of the number of variables, it’s recommended that after opened, LUXE WaterFX be used within 6 months.
I’ve gone 9 months and other customers have gone a year with an opened bottle, but the safe recommendation is 6 months ONCE opened.

Creating waves with WaterFX CLEAR
🌊 3 Step Flowing Waves:
1. Pour 1/4 cup LUXE WaterFX CLEAR into a cup
2. Add 5-7 drips of a white acrylic + Floetrol mixture
3. Do not stir, simply tilt cup back and forth for 3 seconds so it’s slightly marbled, then pour onto your wood or canvas!
(Tilt the wood or canvas until you get the wave style you love)
*Don’t over tilt or your white will dissolve into the WaterFX CLEAR
