I think some people use emulsion paint to gunge with, even tho I've seen it recommended on other sites/blogs/forums that it shouldn't be used. Just the normal stuff you get from any hardware or DIY store. Can someone give me a definitive answer - is it ok to use it, & if so are there any do's or don't's (ie does it need to be washed off straight away)?
I get messy with emulsion all the time and have never had a problem with it.
Water it down, don't pour it in your eyes and don't eat it. It's water-based so will wash off your skin (and won't stain your bath if it's not a dark colour) easily, though you may need to shampoo your hair a few times.
I would never use anything that toxic especially when there are safe alternatives that are really easy to make at home. A relative of mine has a slowly spreading paralysis due to chemical exposure. That was due to pesticides but still I don't think it's worth the risk to intentionally expose yourself to something known to be toxic.
@LeilaHazlett I totally agree. A lot of thing people mess with I think are questionable. Your skin is your largest organ, and saturating yourself in poison does do something. I would assume it is not good, either.
If not covered in frosting, are you really living?
As previously stated, it's not something I would use either, as I have enough on worrying about staining the bath tub, never mind the potential risk to your well being! Grab some custard, cake batter etc. At least that stuff smells good!
Love you, too
