Title: Milky Appearance with Timeless
Post by: jimnilsen on July 25, 2011, 01:28:23 am
I have been hand rolling Timeless Satin onto Lyve Canvas and have been getting a milky look especially in the dark areas. I did not  have this problem with Glamour 2. I have altered the amount that I put on, the pressure, etc. I am wondering if I am rolling for too long?

It should go from milky to clear.
Roll until its tacky and then walk away for 15 minutes.
Light coats are better and will also dry quicker with less bubbling.

Not sure about Timeless, but with Eco Print Shield if this happens you must add 20% water.

I see this with the Eco Print Shield but not Timeless.    I wonder if you have old stock that has settled.  I find the Timeless more difficult to maintain a consistent finish through the use of a tub.  Even though I always mix it, it seems the bottom half of the tub is more glossy (using satin) than at first.

Oh and Breathing Color could you please make your tubs even wider?  I love the challenge of trying to pour out of a new tub without spilling all over the place!

Instead of pouring from the container when it's new, use a small plastic cup to dip out the coating! This makes it easy to proportion when mixing the gloss and matte products also!
