FAQs
Is Ranger Liquid Pearls permanent on fabric?
Yes, once the paint has fully cured, it becomes permanent and can be hand-washed.
Can this paint be used on photos?
Yes, because the formula is acid-free, it is generally considered safe for use on archival scrapbook pages and photos.
How long does it take for the paint to dry?
Drying time depends on the thickness of the application, but it is recommended to let it set for several hours or overnight for best results.
Is the paint toxic?
No, the Ranger Liquid Pearls formula is non-toxic.
Can I store the bottle horizontally?
It is best to store the bottle upright to ensure the paint remains at the tip and is ready for immediate use.
Troubleshooting
Paint is not flowing smoothly through the tip
Check the tip for dried paint buildup and gently wipe with a damp cloth or clear the opening with a thin needle.
Paint is bubbling during application
Avoid shaking the bottle vigorously; if bubbles appear, use a pin to pop them while the paint is still wet.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using your Liquid Pearls, hold the bottle vertically and gently squeeze until the paint flows. If you are working on a new surface, practice on a scrap piece of paper first to gauge the pressure required for your desired dot size. For fabric applications, ensure the textile is clean and dry before applying. Once applied to fabric, allow the paint to air dry completely for at least 24 hours before handling or washing. To maintain the precision tip, always wipe the nozzle clean with a damp cloth immediately after use and replace the cap tightly to prevent the paint from drying inside the tip.
