FAQs
What surfaces can I use Dylusions Shimmer Spray on?
You can use it on most porous surfaces including paper, cardstock, canvas, fabric, and wood. It is not recommended for non-porous surfaces.
How do I get the best shimmer effect?
Shake the bottle very well before use to distribute the pearlescent particles. Apply in light, even coats from about 6-10 inches away. Applying over a light-colored base will enhance the shimmer.
Is this spray permanent once dry?
Yes, once dry, the shimmer spray is permanent on porous surfaces. For added protection on high-traffic items, a compatible sealant can be used.
Can I layer this spray with other mediums?
Absolutely. It can be layered over inks, paints, and other water-based mediums to create luminous effects and unique backgrounds.
How much liquid is in the bottle?
Each bottle contains 1 oz of shimmer spray.
Does the 'Fresh Lime' color have a scent?
The Dylusions Shimmer Sprays are formulated for color and shimmer; they do not have a distinct added fragrance.
What happens if the nozzle clogs?
If the nozzle becomes clogged, remove it and soak it in warm water. Gently clear the opening with a fine needle or pin. Remember to shake the bottle well before use.
Troubleshooting
Spray nozzle is clogged or not spraying evenly.
Remove the nozzle and soak it in warm water. Gently clear the opening with a fine needle or pin. Shake the bottle thoroughly again before reattaching the nozzle.
Color appears dull or the shimmer is not visible.
Shake the bottle vigorously for an extended period (at least 30-60 seconds) to ensure the pearlescent pigments are fully dispersed. Ensure you are applying to a light or white surface for maximum effect, or layer over lighter colors.
Paper becomes too wet or warps.
Hold the spray further away from the surface (increase distance by 2-4 inches) and use shorter, lighter bursts. Apply in multiple thin layers rather than one heavy coat, allowing drying time between applications.
Product smears after drying.
Ensure adequate drying time has passed. Some surfaces or applications may require sealing with a compatible spray sealant for added durability, especially if handling the project frequently.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Before the first use, shake the bottle vigorously for at least 30 seconds to thoroughly mix the pearlescent pigments. Remove the cap and hold the nozzle approximately 6-10 inches away from your project surface. Test the spray on scrap material first to get a feel for the coverage and mist.
Compatibility: Dylusions Shimmer Sprays are designed for porous surfaces including paper, cardstock, canvas, wood, and fabric. It can be used over inks, paints, and other water-based mediums. While it adheres well to these surfaces, avoid using on non-porous materials where it may not dry properly.
Care: Store the spray upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the cap is securely fastened after each use to prevent the nozzle from drying out. To clean the nozzle if it becomes clogged, remove it and soak it in warm water, then gently poke the opening with a fine needle.
