FAQs
How do I get the best shimmer effect?
Shake the bottle thoroughly before each use and spray lightly from a consistent distance (6-12 inches) onto a light-colored or porous surface. Layering over lighter colors or white surfaces often enhances the pearlescent glow.
Can I use this on clothing?
Yes, Dylusions Shimmer Sprays can be used on fabric. The color and shimmer are permanent after drying, but test on a fabric scrap first to ensure desired results and check for washability.
How long does it take to dry?
Drying time varies depending on the surface and amount applied, but it typically dries to the touch within minutes. Full curing may take longer.
Can I layer different Shimmer Spray colors?
Yes, you can layer different Shimmer Spray colors or layer them over other Dylusions inks and paints to create unique luminous effects and complex backgrounds.
Is this spray waterproof once dry?
While the spray is water-resistant once dry, it is not completely waterproof. Heavy moisture may affect the finish over time.
What surfaces are NOT recommended for use?
It is not recommended for use on non-porous surfaces like glossy plastic, metal, or glass, as it may not adhere properly or may rub off easily.
How many colors are available?
Dylusions Shimmer Sprays are available in 12 coordinating colors.
Troubleshooting
Spray nozzle is clogged.
Remove the nozzle and soak it in warm water. Rinse thoroughly before reattaching. Shake the bottle well.
Uneven spray pattern.
Shake the bottle vigorously to ensure pigments are fully mixed. Hold the bottle at a consistent distance from the surface and use a steady sweeping motion.
Color appears dull.
Ensure the bottle has been shaken thoroughly. The pearlescent effect is best seen when sprayed lightly over a lighter background or over other colors.
Ink is not drying.
Ensure you are using the spray on a porous surface and not applying too heavily. Allow adequate drying time in a well-ventilated area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the spray nozzle is clear before first use. Shake the bottle well to disperse the pearlescent pigments. Hold the bottle approximately 6-12 inches away from your surface. Test spray on scrap material first.
Compatibility: Compatible with most porous surfaces including paper, cardstock, canvas, wood, and fabric. It can be layered over inks, paints, and other Dylusions products. Avoid use on non-porous surfaces where it may not adhere or dry properly.
Care: Store upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the cap tightly sealed when not in use to prevent drying. If the nozzle becomes clogged, remove it and soak it in warm water, then rinse thoroughly. Clean up any spills or overspray immediately with a damp cloth.
