chocolate) show best against dark or color surfaces and will give a “hue
specific” metallic light reflective pearlescent glow on chocolate and on most
foods! Effect Interference colors are used to give a light reflective “highlight” shine to most food products. TruColor Interference colors were
designed for use with an airbrush gun. When added to regular airbrush or
blended to create secondary colors you to make your own personal custom light reflective hues for fun or for that competitive edge the world’s best
decorators and chefs strive for! Highlight are best achieved by using an
airbrush and using the effect color very sparingly, simply hold the airbrush
gun away from the food surface and spray lightly against a color or dark
surface
, mica particles only need to simply lay flat to reflect the light!
The Effect line works best when sprayed lightly or heavy to light in a fade
pattern against a dark surface.

Here are a few tips
to help you be successful the first time using this amazing new airbrush color:

Ultrapure food grade mica is the mineral that gives TruColor® natural color paint its light reflective shine and is approved for use on food in the United States.  Mica is heavier than the liquid and will lay flat on the bottom of the jar so it is very important to open and mix the color by using a stirrer or popsicle stick to “lift” and “mix” any mica particles which may have settled to the bottom of the jar. For best results to apply Liquid Shine, warm it to 30° to 40° C (86° to 104° F)Do not use direct flame or heat the ethanol solution with an electric heater, instead heat a pan of water to approximately 70° C (158° F) and place the tightly sealed jar of Shine Color into the water pan to gently warm the color away from any ignition source.

Important: Replace the lid and the seal wafer after stirring and then shake up the jar again before each use. (Save the seal wafer and replace each time when storing color as this will help prevent evaporation)

Color with mica particles are thicker than plain liquid colors, for use with an airbrush gun use an orifice of about .30 or more and use the color immediately after pouring into the airbrush cup, over time gravity will cause the mica to settle in your airbrush and may cause it to clog.  If this happens, simply place your finger over the end of the nozzle and pull the trigger to create back pressure to lift and evenly distribute the color and mica. You know you are doing this correctly when you see little bubbles in your airbrush cup, continue spraying.

Spray lightly, the mica particles only need to lay flat to
reflect the light! 

When you are finished, simply clean your airbrush gun with alcholol, using water before you rinse you gun with alcohol may cause the AMAIZE GLAZE ™ vegetable confectioner’s glaze to gum up inside your gun requiring extensive cleaning…Remember, rinse your airbrush gun well with alcohol first before cleaning with water!

The “Liquid Shine” line of 12 Colors colors work well against a white or dark surface with an airbrush or by hand with a paint brush. The Liquid “Effects” line of 12 Colors work best with an “airbrush” machine and sprayed very lightly against a dark or color surface sprayed to give a hue specific light reflective highlight shine.

You do not need to be an expert to create amazing works of sugar art, just have fun!
