Bronze Powders 25gm

10 colours

Superfine pigment powder made from real metal.  

Treat as a pigment and mix with various binders to make the type of paint appropriate for the effect or for the surface it is to be applied to – eg mix with oil to create a metallic oil paint, with an acrylic medium to make an acrylic, or a fabric binding-medium to make into a fabric paint. 

The finished effect of a paint made from these metal pigments has a truly metallic sheen (compared to a paint made from pearl pigments), reminiscent of gold leaf. 

Once combined with a binder the paint can be applied by almost any method, as desired.

Some suggested binders –

• Dextrin – makes a water-based paint perhaps for calligraphy.
• Ormoline Metallic Paint Medium – makes a tough paint for wood, glass, ceramics etc
• Acrylic gloss mediums and gels – for a range of acrylic paints from flowing effects to thick textural effects.
• Painting wax – eg Dorlands Wax – for gilding-wax effects.

PLEASE NOTE:
As these powders are made from base metals (eg brass, bronze) they will tarnish if not protected by the binder initially, or if necessary, a finishing sealing coat.   Therefore, they should not be applied as loose powders – they will move, fall away from the surface & generally deteriorate. 

Health & Safety

• Care must be taken to avoid inhaling particles when handling these powders  
• Do not shake the pot just before opening it – the powders are extremely light and are easily carried in the air.
• Wear a mask while lifting the powders from the pot and mixing into the binder.
• Place the binder onto the mixing surface and carefully place the powders into the binder, initially gently folding the powder into the binder.   NEVER POUR THE BINDER ONTO THE POWDER – the powder will take off into the air.
• Once mixed, the resulting paint is safe.
