Product Information
Full details
Ranger Perfect Pearls Pigment Powder in Zinnia is designed for paper crafters, mixed-media artists, and DIY enthusiasts looking to add a professional, shimmering finish to their work. Its primary benefit is its built-in resin technology, which ensures the powder adheres reliably to surfaces, though users should be mindful that because it is a fine powder, it requires careful handling to prevent unwanted dusting on adjacent project areas.

FAQs
Is this product safe for scrapbooking?
Yes, because the powder is acid-free, it is safe for archival scrapbooking and photo-related projects.
Can I mix this with water directly?
Yes, mixing it with water creates a shimmering wash, though adding it to a binder or ink will provide better long-term adhesion.
Do I need a heat gun to set it?
If using the powder dry, the built-in resin activates with brushing pressure; heat is only required if you are mixing it with embossing enamels.
Is the Zinnia color opaque or translucent?
Perfect Pearls are generally translucent, meaning the color of the underlying paper will affect the final look.
How long does a .25 oz jar last?
Because the pigment is highly concentrated, a single jar will last for hundreds of projects even with frequent use.
Troubleshooting
Powder not adhering well to cardstock
Ensure you are using a slightly porous surface. If the surface is too glossy or coated, the resin may have difficulty gripping the material.
Excessive shimmer transferring to other areas
Use a fixative spray or a light coat of clear acrylic sealer once your project is complete to lock the powder into place.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use, ensure your workspace is flat and protected, as the powder is extremely fine. For dry application, use a dry, soft-bristled artist's brush. If applying to wet surfaces, mix the powder into the medium on a palette until the desired concentration is reached. Always close the jar tightly after each use to prevent moisture from affecting the powder's texture. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the pigments.
