This guide is for crafters and artists seeking to add a refined metallic finish to their projects. The "Kettle Copper" Classic Metallic Ultra Fine Embossing Powder provides a brilliant, shiny copper hue with a delicate granulation that captures the finest details, offering a subtle raised effect. A potential caveat is its superfine nature, which requires precise application to avoid clumping on overly intricate designs.

'Ultra Fine' refers to the very small, uniform particle size (C#18 granulation). This allows the powder to settle into and capture the most minute details of your stamps or designs, providing a crisp, sharp finish with a subtle raised effect.
Each pot contains 13 grams of "Kettle Copper" Classic Metallic Ultra Fine Embossing Powder.
It is best used with specialized embossing inks (pads, pens, or liquid inks) that remain wet long enough for the powder to adhere. Standard craft inks may dry too quickly.
Store the powder in its original, tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place, away from moisture and direct sunlight. Keeping the lid secure prevents clumping and contamination.
Gently tap the project over the pot to allow excess powder to fall back in. For stubborn loose grains, a soft, dry brush can be used to sweep them away from the inked design.
Yes, while its ultra-fine nature requires a bit of practice for perfect results, it's manageable for beginners with patience. The key is even inking and careful tapping off of excess powder.
It works best on porous surfaces like cardstock, paper, and vellum, where the embossing ink can properly adhere. It may not adhere well to non-porous surfaces like plastic or metal unless a suitable primer or adhesive is used.
Ensure your heat gun is at an appropriate temperature and distance. Move the heat gun constantly. If using an older heat tool, try a slightly longer heating time.
The ink may have dried too quickly, or too much powder was applied. Ensure even ink coverage and tap off excess powder thoroughly before heating. Apply powder in a less humid environment if possible.
Ensure you tap off excess powder thoroughly before heating. Sometimes using an anti-static tool or powder bag on the surface before inking can help prevent stray adhesion.
The heat may have been too intense or held too close, causing the fine powder to spread excessively. Use a lower heat setting and maintain a consistent distance, moving the heat tool continuously.
Ensure the ink used provides a good base for the powder. Some inks may react differently. Experiment with different embossing inks to find the best result for a brilliant shine.
