Solid Solutions Mixing Fluid is a water-based medium made to be mixed with pearlescent mica powder pigments. It comes in a 250ml bottle bottle and turns mica powder into a highly pigmented, flexible shimmer paint you can apply to paper, card, wood, ceramic and canvas. Stir the mica powder in slowly to avoid bubbles, then brush it on for a smooth, shimmering finish. Add extra fluid and water for a lighter, translucent wash.

FAQs

How much mica powder do I mix into the fluid?+
Start with a small amount and stir in gradually until you reach the depth of shimmer and pigmentation you want.
Why does my mixture have bubbles?+
Bubbles usually come from stirring too quickly. Mix the mica powder in slowly and gently to keep the paint smooth.
Can I get a lighter, watercolour-style effect?+
Yes. Add more Mixing Fluid and a little water to thin the mixture for a lighter, more translucent wash.
Is Mixing Fluid water resistant?+
Yes, it becomes water resistant once fully dry, though it is not designed to be fully waterproof or submerged.
How do I clean up?+
Clean brushes and equipment with soap and water while the paint is still wet.
Can I use it with any mica powder colour?+
Yes. Mixing Fluid works with any Solid Solutions mica powder shade, and shades can be blended together before mixing in.
