Mediums

Pearl Ex can be mixed into almost any medium. The list below is far from exhaustive. If you don't see your favorite medium listed, don't worry, chances are it will work great with Pearl Ex.

# JAC1649

Pearl Ex Varnish    

This water based varnish can be used as a medium or as a top coat with Pearl Ex Pigments. Works great on paper, clay, metal, wood or plastic and cleans up easily with water. This varnish enables Pearl Ex users to create their own lustrous metallic paints, glazes and durable finishes on every surface. Available in 2.25oz. bottles.

Jacquard Gum Arabic is an excellent medium for Pearl Ex. Just use Pearl Ex, Gum Arabic, & water!

Jacquard Textile Colors: Mix Pearl Ex into #100 Colorless Extender to create a pure Pearl Ex paint or metallicise any of the other Textile Colors by adding it to them.

Jacquard Neopaque: Neopaque #579 Extender is an excellent medium for Pearl Ex. Adding Pearl Ex to the other Neopaque colors will result in a muted metallic effect due to the opaque nature of the paints.

Jacquard Professional Screen Inks & Versatex Screen Inks are both excellent mediums for Pearl Ex. The particle size of all but 3 of the Pearl Ex colors should work perfectly for screen printing. The 3 colors you should not use for screen printing are: #652 Macropearl, #657 Sparkle Gold, & #690 Sparkling Copper.

Jacquard Airbrush Colors: Like our screen inks, Jacquard Airbrush Colors are an excellent medium for Pearl Ex but the 3 large particle sized colors listed above should also be avoided for airbrushing.

Jacquard Gutta Resist is an excellent medium for Pearl Ex. However, not for applications that will be dry cleaned. Dry cleaning will remove the gutta and the Pearl Ex.
