Is the 'Pure Sunshine' color opaque?
The shimmer spray adds color and shimmer. The opacity can vary depending on how heavily you spray and the color of the surface underneath. It is designed to add a translucent, shimmery tint.
How long does the spray take to dry?
The spray typically dries quickly, usually within a few minutes, depending on the humidity and the amount applied. This allows for efficient project workflow.
What is the size of the bottle?

Does this spray have a strong odor?
The sprays are water-based and generally have a mild scent. It's always recommended to use them in a well-ventilated area.
Troubleshooting
Spray nozzle is clogged or not spraying evenly.
Shake the bottle vigorously. If the issue persists, remove the nozzle and soak it in warm water for a few minutes, then rinse and reattach. Ensure the straw inside the bottle is submerged in liquid.
Not enough shimmer or color is visible.
Shake the bottle more thoroughly to ensure pigments are fully dispersed. Apply the spray closer to the surface or in multiple light layers.
Color appears dull or chalky.
This can happen if the shimmer is not adequately mixed. Shake the bottle extensively before use. Ensure you are applying it to a suitable porous surface.
Spray is bleeding or affecting underlying layers.
Ensure underlying inks or paints are completely dry before applying the shimmer spray. Test on a scrap piece to check for compatibility.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the spray nozzle is properly attached. Shake the bottle vigorously for 15-30 seconds before first use and between subsequent uses to thoroughly mix the pearlescent pigments. For best results, test the spray on a scrap piece of the intended material before applying to your final project.
Compatibility: This shimmer spray is designed for use on porous surfaces such as paper, cardstock, canvas, fabric, and untreated wood. It is compatible with most water-based inks, paints, and adhesives. Avoid use on glossy or non-porous surfaces where it may not adhere well or may bead up.
Care: Store the bottles upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Always replace the cap securely after use to prevent the nozzle from drying out. To clean the nozzle if it becomes clogged, gently remove it and soak it in warm water. Wipe the spray bottle exterior with a slightly damp cloth if needed, ensuring no moisture enters the nozzle.
