- What surfaces does this alcohol ink work on?
- It is made for non-porous surfaces such as glossy card, Yupo, metal, glass and plastic. On plain paper it soaks in and looks dull, so seal or gesso first if you want it to sit on top.
- Do I need blending solution?
- Not required, but it slows drying and lets you push the ink around. Without it, the ink sets almost immediately on glossy surfaces.
- Is one 14 mL bottle enough for a project?
- For small cards and accents, yes; the ink is concentrated. Large backgrounds or repeated projects will use a bottle quickly, especially if you dilute with blending solution.
- Can I use it to tint resin?
- Yes, alcohol ink is a common resin tint and mixes in well. Add a drop at a time, since the color is strong and a little shifts the whole batch.
- How does Aqua compare with the other Tim Holtz colors?
- Aqua is a mid blue-green that leans teal. It blends well with the line's greens and blues for water and sky effects and is less saturated than the brighter shades.
- How should I store it?
- Keep the cap tight and store upright away from heat and direct sun. Alcohol evaporates fast, so a loose cap will thicken the ink.
