What are Dazzling Metallics?

Dazzling Metallics are non-fired water based colors that can be used for solid coverage or detailing. They are applied directly to bisque or over any of the Softees Acrylic Stains.

How do I apply Dazzling Metallics?
For smooth coverage, two lighter coats are better than one heavy coat. Either a synthetic or natural hair brush can be used for application. Dazzling Metallics can be intermixed with any water-based product for interesting effects. The appearance of different metals can be simulated using one of the metallics antiqued with a translucent stain. Do not use a brush that has been used to apply a Dazzling Metallic to apply a glaze. Any metallic particles left in the bristles can cause a discoloration in the glaze surface.

Can I seal a Dazzling Metallics piece with Porcelain Mist?
Porcelain Mist Spray Sealer is not recommended as a final sealer for the metallics, as it will dull the surface.

Should I fire Dazzling Metallics?
No. Do not fire.
