Abstract: A non-permanent ornamental paint mixture being water soluble after drying. The mixture consists essentially of: from about 75.0 to about 85.0 parts by weight water; from about 10.0 to about 12.0 parts by weight filler; from about 0.5 to about 1.5 parts by weight aqueous pigment dispersion; from about 2.0 to about 2.5 parts by weight release agent; from about 3.0 to about 4.5 parts by weight acid containing, cross-linked acrylic emulsion copolymer; up to 1.0 parts by weight alkali; up to 0.1 parts by weight defoamer; and up to 0.1 parts by weight antimicrobial agent.

Abstract: A non-permanent ornamental paint mixture that is water soluble after drying. The mixture comprises a first solution of a mixture consisting essentially of water, defoamer, dispersing agent, filler and antimicrobial agent. A second solution is mixed with the first solution and comprises a mixture consisting essentially of water, an acid containing, cross-linked acrylic emulsion copolymer, defoamer, a release agent and alkali. An aqueous pigment dispersion is used in the paint mixture to provide the color.
