What’s the best non toxic water based acrylic paint for decorating wooden tables that will be used for meals?
I would like to paint children’s designs on tables that will be used in a magical classroom for eating on. I suppose they will have to be sealed with a water based polyurethane of some sort, but mostly I need to know the best brand of paints to get the most beautiful colors. Any experienced furniture painters out there?
I used liquitex brand acrylics when painting a table for a local coffee shop and it turned out beautifully. Personally I find golden brand acrylics too thick but their colors are wonderful. Liquitex is a little thinner which is good for covering large areas. I’ve never had much of a problem with fading over time either. For the most part acrylic paints are pretty non-toxic to my knowledge, also whatever coating you put on the table to protect the paintings will provide a protective barrier against any leeching of pigments.
The only thing I will caution you against is that the knot holes in the wood actually shows through the paint over time. When I did my project If I had primed the table with a good coat of gesso that could have been avoided, so prime your tables well
