• Do You Have Tips for Using Crayola Quick-Dry Paint Sticks?

  The possibilities are endless with Crayola Quick Dry Paint Sticks! These colorful tools are water-based, soft, solid sticks—perfect for creating on almost any surface.

  
  

  For a 60-Second Dry Time:

  • Use on porous surfaces, such as copy paper, poster board, or construction paper. Non-porous surfaces like canvas board will extend the dry time.

  • A little goes a long way! Only use one or two layers of color. Adding more layers will add to your dry time.
  • Make sure you use the paint sticks in a low humidity environment.
  • Use a fan or blower dryer (no heat) to help them dry quicker.
