Mica Powder

Mica powders are non-tarnishing and universal. They can be combined with virtually any medium and applied as a paint or glaze, creating a glowing metallic luster. Mica powders may be flash gilded by dusting over a water-based or oil-based gilding adhesive. Change the background color and mica powders take on different hues. Lessen the amount of powder in the medium, and the surface becomes translucent with an appearance of great depth.

Patina

The color(s) achieved by a specific patina solution depends upon the metal or alloy to which it is applied, the age and the strength of the patina mixture, the time and temperature of the exposure, and the process used to apply the solution. Cool Tools offers liver of sulfur in a solid lump form and in a stabilized gel, called Patina Gel. These two products are perhaps the most widely used patinas by jewelry artists for silver, copper, bronze and brass. If you are interested in heat patinas, be sure to check out our cool VersaMark products listed above and corresponding video.
