What are Softees Pearls?
Softees Pearls are high luster acrylics in a wide range of
shimmering hues that are water thinnable and intermixable. Pearls can be
used on ceramic bisque, fabric and many other craft surfaces.
How do I apply Softees Pearls?
Softees Pearls are best applied with a soft hair brush or natural sponge.
Pearls may be applied over a base coat of acrylic, but the color performs
better if applied directly to bisque. A silk sponge can be used to apply
these colors to make them appear even. They can be intermixed with any
non-fired water based product to give an added dimension to the color. The
color should be removed from the brush immediately after use with AC-525
Brush Cleaner and warm water. Color left to dry in a brush will ruin it
completely. Do not fire.
Do Softees Pearls take longer to dry than other acrylics?
Softees Pearls are self-sealing because of their glossy translucent base
material. These colors take longer to dry and cure, and may remain tacky
for several days. Thinning of the pearls for detail work or for a light
coating is best done with AC-304 Media which allows the color to be
thinned without becoming watery.
