Any time you need a metallic or pearl effect you will find Pearl Ex Powered Pigments a truly versatile product. You can mix them into alcohol ink, acrylics, oils, printing inks, epoxy resin, varnishes, casting resins, encaustic medium, glues, clay and much more.. Mixing in Gum Arabic enables you to make watercolour or DIY calligraphy ink. Great for non-porous surfaces or add it to the colourless extenders if you wish to use it on fabric. It can also be used with Jacquard’s own Pearl Ex varnish. Pearl Ex pigments are sold by weight, the powder will have settled in the containers by the time they reach you, and will not be full.
