Powdered paint
1. The ‘paint’ is a mix of corn starch and talc dyed with food-grade colouring. It can be inhaled in small quantities without adverse affects, but we’d recommend those with asthma to seriously think about the potential effect of airborne powdered paint and their conditions.
2. If you’ve had skin reactions to powdered paint previously, we’d recommend a test patch at least 48 hours prior to the event, by using your paint pouch provided as part of your entry pack.
3. This product is meant to be thrown directly onto the body, avoiding the face.
4. St Michael’s Hospice suggests that participants should wear old white clothing. St Michael’s Hospice is not responsible for the staining of clothing.
5. St Michael’s Hospice requests that participants avoid throwing paint close to vehicles and technical equipment.
6. Please see the following symptoms and effects the paint may cause. St Michael’s Hospice is not liable for any adverse effects:
Ingestion: This is not allowed, however if this does occur, the participant should drink plenty of water.
Inhalation: If the paint is inhaled, the participant should remove themselves from the area into fresh air.
Participants with asthma or any other respiratory conditions are asked to strongly consider if it suitable for them to take part. If you are concerned, but wish to take part, use a bandana or dust mask to cover your mouth. Skin Contact: The paint may cause temporary stain on the skin. This will wash off with soap and water.
