Shake well. Apply one or more coats to craft surface with a soft hair brush or natural sponge. Dry between coats. Thin and clean up with water. Use sealer for added durability. Pearls may be applied over a base coat of acrylic, but the color performs better if applied directly to bisque. Clean brushes immediately after use with AC-525 Brush Cleaner and warm water. If the color is left to dry in the brush it may be difficult to remove.

Pearls can be thinned with water and intermixed with Softees^®  Acrylics to provide an added sparkle to the color. For even application, try applying color with a silk sponge. Softees® Pearls are self-sealing because of their glossy translucent base material. These colors take longer to dry and cure, and may remain tacky for several days.
