FAQs
What surfaces can I use Dylusions Ink Spray on?
Dylusions Ink Sprays work best on porous surfaces like cardstock, watercolor paper, art journal pages, canvas, and untreated wood. They are not ideal for glossy or non-porous surfaces.
How do I achieve different color effects?
For subtle effects, use light mists from a distance. For intense color, spray closer and build layers. You can also combine colors by spraying them side-by-side or overlapping them.
Is the color permanent once dry?
Once dry, the ink is permanent and water-resistant, making it suitable for layering with other mediums without reactivating.
How should I store the ink spray?
Store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight to preserve color integrity. Always cap tightly after use.
Can I refill the ink spray bottle?
The Dylusions Ink Sprays are designed as single-use bottles. Refilling is not recommended as it may affect the spray mechanism and color consistency.
What is the difference between Dylusions Ink Sprays and Shimmer Sprays?
Dylusions Ink Sprays offer a rich, opaque color without shimmer. Dylusions Shimmer Sprays add a metallic, luminous finish to the color.
How do I clean up overspray or drips?
Clean up wet ink with water and a cloth or paper towel. Dried ink may require more vigorous cleaning or be more difficult to remove depending on the surface.
Troubleshooting
Spray nozzle is clogged and won't spray.
Remove the nozzle and soak it in warm water for a few minutes. Gently use a fine needle or pin to clear the opening. Rinse thoroughly and reattach. Shake the bottle well before next use.
Color appears faded or washed out.
Ensure the bottle was shaken thoroughly before use to mix the concentrated pigment. Apply additional light coats, allowing each to dry, to build color intensity. Ensure the surface is sufficiently porous.
Ink is bleeding excessively or soaking through paper.
Apply lighter mists from a greater distance. Use a heavier weight paper or cardstock that can handle moisture. Consider layering with other mediums like gesso or clear mediums before spraying.
Ink is not drying quickly.
This may indicate an overly wet application or a non-porous surface. Try applying lighter coats. Ensure the ambient humidity is not excessively high. Allow more time for drying.
