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.
How do I get the best shimmer effect?
Shake the bottle very well before each use to distribute the pearlescent particles evenly. Apply in light, even coats from about 6-12 inches away.
Can I layer Dylusions Shimmer Spray over other media?
Yes, it can be layered over inks, paints, and other water-based mediums to create luminous effects.
How should I store the spray?
Store upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight with the cap securely fastened.
Is the Cherry Pie color opaque or transparent?
It is a transparent shimmer spray with pearlescent pigment, allowing underlying colors or textures to show through while adding color and shimmer.
How do I clean up accidental overspray?
While the spray is still wet, it can typically be wiped away with a damp cloth. Dried spray may be more difficult to remove depending on the surface.
Does this spray have a strong odor?
Dylusions products generally have a mild odor. It is recommended to use them in a well-ventilated area.
Troubleshooting
Spray nozzle is clogged or not spraying evenly.
Shake the bottle vigorously. If still clogged, remove the nozzle and rinse it with warm water. Ensure it's completely dry before reattaching. Test spray on scrap material.
Color appears dull or lacks shimmer.
The pigments may not have been sufficiently mixed. Shake the bottle for a longer period, ensuring the shimmer particles are fully suspended in the liquid.
Spray is oversaturating the paper or causing warping.
Hold the bottle further away from the surface (increase distance to 12+ inches). Apply in lighter, sweeping motions rather than holding in one spot. Consider using a heavier weight paper or cardstock.
Color is not vibrant enough.
Apply multiple light coats, allowing each to dry partially in between. Ensure the product is thoroughly shaken before application.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Before first use, remove the cap and gently shake the bottle to ensure the pearlescent pigments are evenly distributed. Test the spray on a scrap piece of material to gauge coverage and intensity. Hold the bottle approximately 6-12 inches away from your surface for best results.
Compatibility: Dylusions Shimmer Sprays are designed for use on porous surfaces including paper, cardstock, canvas, fabric, wood, and some plastics. They are water-based and can be layered over inks, paints, and other water-based mediums. Avoid direct application on non-porous or glossy surfaces where it may not adhere or dry properly.
Care: Store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the cap is securely fastened after each use to prevent drying. Clean the nozzle area if it becomes clogged by gently wiping with a damp cloth. If the nozzle becomes significantly blocked, you may need to carefully remove and rinse it (ensure it's fully dry before reattaching).
