FAQs
How many colors are available in the Dylusions Shimmer Spray line?
The Dylusions Shimmer Sprays are available in 12 coordinating colors.
What is the size of the Dylusions Shimmer Spray bottle?
Each bottle contains 1 oz of product.
Can I use this spray on plastic or metal?
While it may adhere temporarily, the spray is designed for porous surfaces. The shimmer effect is best seen and most durable on materials like paper, canvas, and fabric.
Is the spray permanent once dry?
Yes, once dry, the spray creates a permanent, water-resistant shimmer finish on most porous surfaces.
Do I need to use this in a well-ventilated area?
Yes, it is recommended to use spray products in a well-ventilated area to avoid inhaling any fumes and to prevent overspray from settling on unwanted surfaces.
Can I layer this spray over other mediums?
Absolutely. It works well layered over inks, paints, and other water-based mediums to create unique luminous effects.
How do I clean up mistakes?
Wipe up any wet spray with a damp cloth immediately. Dried overspray or marks can usually be cleaned with water and mild soap, though some surfaces may stain.
Troubleshooting
Nozzle is clogged or not spraying
Shake the bottle vigorously. Remove the nozzle and soak it in warm water, then gently clear any blockages with a fine-tipped tool. Rinse thoroughly before reattaching.
Uneven spray pattern or splattering
Ensure the bottle is shaken thoroughly before use. Hold the nozzle at a consistent distance from the surface and use a steady, sweeping motion. Try spraying a test surface first.
Color is not vibrant enough
Apply multiple light coats, allowing each coat to dry slightly before applying the next. Ensure you are spraying on a porous surface that will absorb the ink well. Try spraying over a lighter base color.
Shimmer is not visible
Shake the bottle very well. The shimmer particles can settle over time. Ensure the surface is suitable for the spray; lighter, matte surfaces tend to show shimmer best.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Shake the bottle well before each use to ensure the shimmer pigment is evenly distributed. Remove the cap and hold the nozzle approximately 6-12 inches away from your surface. Press down evenly on the nozzle to spray.
Compatibility: This spray is designed for use on porous surfaces such as paper, cardstock, canvas, wood, and fabric. It is compatible with other Dylusions products and most water-based mediums. Avoid use on non-porous surfaces where adhesion and visibility may be reduced.
Care: Store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the nozzle clear by wiping it with a damp cloth after each use if necessary. Ensure the cap is securely replaced to prevent drying out. Clean up any spills immediately with water and mild soap before they dry.
