About IOD Paint Inlays

"What is a Paint Inlay?" you are probably wondering.  Well, leave it to the IOD sisters to come up with the most innovative product in furniture transfers yet! Paint Inlays are not a rub on decal,  furniture applique or decoupage.  They are a completely new type of image transfer (patent pending, as a matter of fact) that allows you to transfer artisanal quality, painted images onto your freshly painted *chalk-type* painted surfaces.  In other words, the specially designed transfer paper is embedded with actual paint.  The best part? Put your used sheets to the side, allow to dry and use them two, three or more times! Another fun bonus: until sealed, your paint inlay designs can be reactivated with water and manipulated for creating even more unique and artistic effects!

*For best results, use with non-polymer chalk-type paints only, such as DIY Paints. IOD Paint Inlays can be used with chalk paints containing polymers, but with varied results. 

Use IOD furniture transfers to add visual style to your upcycled furniture and home décor projects. IOD paint inlays can be cut, rearranged and overlapped to create new and unique designs. See packaging for complete instructions on how to apply and seal paint inlays.

Once applied, be sure to seal with a high-quality water-based poly-acrylic sealer or solvent-free wax. For best results, spray your first application of 50:50 ratio of sealer to water to "set" your image and prevent smudging from subsequent coats of sealer.  Please refer to detailed instructions provided for exact use.

Please read my blog post titled, "Everything you Need to Know About IOD Paint Inlays."  In this article you will find complete step by step instructions on how to use IOD Paint Inlays.  It is highly recommended that you follow the instructions thoroughly in order to achieve best results.

Any orders that contain anything that can potentially leak or freeze that do not contain the Route Protection will either have the jars taped or re-invoiced to you to include insurance.  IF YOU DO NOT RESPOND AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS BY MILTON'S DAUGHTER TO CONTACT YOU REGARDING YOUR UNINSURED LIQUID ORDER, MILTON'S DAUGHTER RESERVES THE RIGHT TO OFFER A REMEDY AT THEIR DISCRETION, WHICH COULD INCLUDE BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO: THE REMOVAL AND REFUND OF THOSE LIQUID ITEMS REQUIRING INSURANCE, SUCH AS LIQUIDS THAT WILL FREEZE IN EXTREME COLD WEATHER; OR IN OTHER CASES WHERE YOUR ENTIRE ORDER MIGHT BE CANCELLED AND A NEW INVOICE ISSUED TO YOU BY EMAIL WHICH INCLUDES THE NECESSARY INSURANCE.

**Winter Shipping Advisory regarding DIY PAINT & PENTART**

DIY Paint and Pentart are water-based products that can be damaged if allowed to freeze. During the winter season, I am very selective in how and when I ship your orders containing these liquid and semi-solid products. 

If temperatures fall below freezing, and in order to ensure that your receive your products in good condition, these items will ship on Mondays through Wednesdays. Therefore, if you place an order on Thursday, it will not ship until Monday. If you have ordered other non paint products in the same order, your entire order will be shipped at the same time.

Route Protection is mandatory for the shipment of all PENTART, DIY Paint and Products.

In some cases, depending upon your location, you may be contacted for additional shipping when Priority Mail charges exceed standard shipping costs.

If the temperatures in your area are below freezing, you are fully responsible for bringing your package inside immediately upon delivery to avoid freezing.

In some cases, additional insurance is added to packages on a case by case basis-you can follow up with Milton's Daughter to find out if any additional insurance has been applied to your order.
