Mama Kate Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 I have a fired ceramic statue that I made for my Mom. I painted it with acrylics and then sprayed a protective coating on it. It is about 30 years old. I got the statue back when she passed away recently. Apparently, when her hall was being painted a couple drops of paint ended up on the statue. How can I safely remove them? I can only guess that the paint was water based. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark C. Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 Put some wet cotton on the drops to soften them-warm water may help and see if the peel off. Interior paint since the early 80s is mostly all water based. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lgusten Posted May 8, 2018 Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 In addition to Mark's suggestion. Warm water with a little Ivory liquid would work. Just make sure that you do not let the sculpture stay wet too long as you may cause the protective glaze to lift. I work with many different finishes in my ceramics repair business. The best rule I can share is start with the least intrusive method, then if needed go to the next level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
