Genesis Paint Not Curing

Are new batches of paint good? I really need some colors but have been afraid to order.

No I wouldn’t say for sure they are good. It’s really a crap shoot. I have gotten one good Pyrolle red after my bad one and Amanda got more ultramarine blues to replace her others and they still didn’t cure.

I ordered phthalo blue 02 and 01 to substitute for my ultramarine when I’m painting. Both are curing for me, I couldn’t get the ultramarine to cure. Then the lovely @PutABonnetOnIt sent me a jar of her ultramarine blue.

@Alypants and @quiltsabunch thank you. This is so frustrating. I don’t know what to do.

Did you just bought the paint after ‘covid’ or they are the same jars that you used since you started?
I think you would see/realize that paint is not curing.

I used newer ones (sold my RebornFX to a girl and did partial trade of Genesis starter kit she bought)

BB does not have the all the colors I need so I am wondering has anyone purchased quinacridone magenta 06, pyrrole red 05, and raw umber lately and it been fine? If so where did you buy it?

No, my magenta 06 was one of my bad ones from a dolls by sandie. The darker shade of magenta I bought was bad too.

I was afraid of that :frowning: Did you get a refund? I am betting she is still selling from the same batch. I know that it is not a lot of money if I buy the small one, but I am working around a huge air bubble inside the head of a doll and other little things- just kind of weary of paying more and absorbing the loss to deal with issues.

No, I tagged her here and got no response. Since I bought the small one I just cut my losses. I was really wanting to try that color :confused:

Maybe I will order from Honeybuns. I will update here if mine cures.

I haven’t really wanted to paint any more babies for now. I am too afraid of paint not curing or ordering more paint not to cure… I did purchase a sale kit to experiment on…

Does your paint stay on if you just use a Q-tip with water?

Omg. That’s going to cause a shortage! Do you think that means they probably were trying to produce their paint with a different ingredient?

No surprising at all :sweat:

Wow! Hopefully it won’t take that long. Glad they’re going to get it fixed!

I am actually relieved that they are admitting there is a supply problem. This may cause the dealers to accept that there is/was a problem.

That is really disappointing, but I was pretty sure that this was going to turn out to be the case. I am just hoping they do come back. I am so glad that I can paint with air dry because I would hate to not be able to paint and I am really low on some colors.

OMG, I’m very worried now, I bought like 7 new paintings from Honeybuns , I just hope they’re good, for me it’s very difficult to get suplies, so I’m begging for these to work for me, they should get to my country between this week and the next.
