-
Heat Setting:
⢠Hard Surfaces: Use a heat gun on low to set the paint.

Pro Tips for Better Airbrushing
- Maximum Opacity: Unlike transparent shades, Opaque Blue provides full coverage even over dark base colors. It is excellent for vibrant base layers and sharp graphic designs.
- Prevent Clogging: Never let paint sit idle in the airbrush. Flush with water between color changes to maintain smooth performance.
- Custom Mixing: All Jacquard Airbrush Colors are intermixable. Combine Opaque Blue with Opaque White to create custom pastels or with Opaque Black for deep navy tones.
