Hi Julie where have you been all my life lol I just found your channel... I have been doing the blooms forever and I wanted to get away from that and start doing pearl pores and cloud pores and I am so happy to have found this other alternative.. you said you're very last one it wasn't very effective I think it was stellar looking because the composition of your pour was still there and the pearls came out just enough to give it a nice effect That's just my opinion though lol looking forward to seeing more of your videos Thank you so much sunshine 🥰💜

I am really not sure! Deco art or folk art acrylic paints (metallic or normal colours) are generally lighter density paints as they are classed as craft paints. If you use heavy density paint over the top like Amsterdam white or black you will get effects as long as your consistency is correct… if it doesn’t work first time try and thin your paints a little.

Do you have Aquahere in America, you can get it from the hardware store. PVA is the same, a white glue. Ask the guys at the hardware store, it should have the ingredients on the label PVA stands for poly vinyl acetate. I think your floetrol is different. Good luck.

Hi Kathryn. If you use different pouring mediums the results will change. Being based in the uk I haven’t used Elmers Glue All… I know it is widely used in the US and Australia. The American floetrol will give you results… just perhaps a little different. The best thing to do is experiment, pearls mainly come from the correct consistency, which is actually quite thin. Hope this helps a little!!

My confusion is when you were measuring them on the scale you added 30g white, 30g satin enamel, and 60g pouring medium. Isn't that a 1:1:2 ratio?
