What is the ratio of pearl sheen to vodka? And once I mix it, can I store it and keep it for later? Or does it have to be used right away? Thanks.

In reply to ChocolateDiva.

Isn’t that weird that it is not legal in some states! LOL

I use vodka and it works well for me. 🙂

Luckily I live in the St. Louis area where Everclear is made (though I didn’t realize that before I read this blog…I never read the bottom of the label!). LOL But what I have found is that Vodka is best for “painting” with color/sheen because the Everclear mix dries too fast. But Everclear is GREAT for spraying! Also…I had no idea that Everclear was not legal in some states!! WOW!

Yes, I would love to know the ratio of sheen to vodka as well. Also, once I mix them, can I store that mixture to keep on hand? Thank you so much for all your tutorials. Very helpful.

Hi,

Thanks so much for referring me to this post. I will definitly try this next time. Quick question ~ what is the ratio of pearl sheen to vodka? It looks like quite a bit it the jar that is pictured with only a few drops of vodka?

Thanks again. You’re great!

Lisa, Thanks so much for this post! I am looking into buying an airbrush. I am on Amazon, and see the Pearl Sheen in a 9 oz. size has free shipping, but I am thinking i will be 92 years old before i can use all of that! Am I right? LOL I don’t even use an airbrush, but have tried them a couple times. Thanks for all your so informative blog posts!

I do not use the ever clear with my airbrush, it gums up the sheens…Found out the hard way, I only use vodka for the airbrush, but I use ever clear for painting the luster dusts.

Great tip Lisa. Alcohol seems to have multiple uses for cake/cookie decorators!

Actually my husband drank it once – mixed it with prune juice and called it a pile driver – true story. I am still married to him. Thanks for all your tutorials on using the airbrush. I won mine at Cookie Con and have not even taken it out of the box yet. Thats my New Year’s resolution – not to take it out of the box – but to actually use it on cookies – hey I’ve still got 358 days left to accomplish this. No rush! Cheers and Happy New Year!

Confession. I bought an air gun right before CookieCon because I knew I’d learn how to use one while I was there. It’s still in the box……Lisa…I need you!! Can you just come and visit please!? Btw, I mean that in the totally silly way..not the stalker way…
