Full details
The QuickCure Clay Pearl Powders by Ranger are designed for crafters looking to add a beautiful, lustrous glow and vibrant accents to their clay and mixed-media projects. The key benefit is the built-in resin formulation, which ensures excellent adhesion and durability on various surfaces, simplifying the creative process. A potential caveat is the small size of the individual jars, requiring careful application for larger projects. These powders are available in eight pearlescent colors, each in a .25 oz jar, and can be used in both wet and dry applications, making them versatile for techniques like dusting, highlighting, and mixing into mediums.

No, the powders are formulated with a built-in resin, which helps them adhere well to most surfaces without the need for an additional sealant.
Can I use these powders on surfaces other than clay?

How many colors are available?

How should I store the pearl powders?

Troubleshooting
Powder not adhering well
Ensure the surface or medium is sufficiently tacky or wet. For dry applications, try applying to a slightly sticky surface like double-sided tape or a wet adhesive. For wet applications, ensure the medium is not too dry before adding the powder.
Patchy or uneven color application
Experiment with application methods. For dusting, use a soft brush and apply gently. For mixing, ensure thorough incorporation into the medium. Consider applying a base coat of white or light color for a more uniform effect.
Powder clumping
Ensure the jar is properly sealed and stored in a dry environment. If clumping occurs, try gently breaking up the clumps with a dry brush or toothpick before use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No complex setup is required. The QuickCure Clay Pearl Powders are ready to use straight from the jar.
Compatibility: These powders are compatible with most crafting surfaces, including polymer clay, air-dry clay, paper, cardstock, and mixed media bases. They adhere well when applied to tacky or wet mediums. For optimal results, ensure your surface or medium is receptive to pigment adhesion.
Care: Store the jars in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain pigment quality. Keep the lids tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption and pigment clumping. To clean tools or surfaces that have come into contact with the powder, use a dry brush to remove excess, followed by a damp cloth or standard craft cleaner as needed.
