Crayola Model Magic Stains Wood Tables

April 30, 2008

altMy kids had done a craft at an event, using Crayola Model Magic. We came home and they set the craft on my dining room table. I later picked up the craft, and every part of the model magic that was touching my table, stained the wood.

I contacted Crayola and they referred me to their site where they have this convenient stain section. You pick out the product that caused the stain, and the surface on which the stain appears. They then offer stain removal solutions. Mine unfortunately did not remove the stain, but I still found the site interesting and helpful. I'm sure I'll need to refer back to it sometime soon! 

There are some benefits to using Model Magic. Model Magic air-dries, usually within 24 hours. Once dry, Model Magic can be colored with Crayola paint or markers. The unique, lightweight modeling material won't crumble or cling to skin or clothing. Crayola Model Magic is non-toxic and safe for use with children of all ages.

We also discovered stained tables after leaving some Model Magic lying there for a bit. We were able to remove the stains by using a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser on it. Apparently the clay only stained the finish, not the wood itself, so the eraser was able to get it out.

Of course, using the eraser dulls the finish slightly; it was necessary to go over the finish again with steel wool to re-buff it.
