The Ranger Tim Holtz Distress Holiday Mica Stains are perfect for paper crafters, mixed-media artists, and DIY enthusiasts looking to add a professional, pearlescent shimmer to their seasonal projects. This set provides high-impact color and luminous effects on porous surfaces like paper, wood, and fabric, though users should be aware that the mica pigments require consistent agitation to prevent settling and ensure a uniform spray.

Once dry, the pigments adhere to porous surfaces effectively, but they are not considered archival or waterproof.
Yes, they are designed to be layered with other Distress products to create unique textures and color combinations.
They are safe for standard indoor crafting use; simply use a craft mat or a box to catch any overspray.
Yes, they work well on porous fabrics like cotton or canvas, though the finish may not withstand heavy washing.
Mild soap and warm water are typically sufficient to remove the pigment from skin.
Remove the sprayer mechanism and soak it in warm, clean water to dissolve dried pigment. Wipe the nozzle tip gently.
The mica pigment has likely settled at the bottom. Shake the bottle vigorously for at least 30 seconds until the color is uniform.
Ensure the surface is porous. These stains are designed for paper, fabric, or wood and will bead up or wipe off of glossy, non-porous materials.
To begin using the mica stains, always shake the bottle vigorously until the mica pigment is fully integrated into the liquid. To prevent nozzle clogging, it is recommended to pump the trigger spray a few times on a piece of scrap paper before applying to your final project. After use, wipe the nozzle clean with a damp cloth to remove any residual mica that could harden and block the sprayer. For best compatibility, store the bottles upright in a cool, dry place to keep the pigments from bonding too tightly at the base of the bottle.
