Questions & Answers
You can use a heat gun to melt it. Heat tools come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Is this something you're going to use to make cards with? That is what I use it for, and the tool I use is a hairdryer; you can use a hairdryer as well, but it will take longer. Because the heat tool will blow the UTEE around, especially if you are only using it on part of the card, I prefer to melt from the bottom. You may want to have a small paint brush on hand to keep it in place if it does blow around. Tim Holtz has a melting pot to melt the UTEE in if you want to dip your project in it.
No, but if you work quickly enough after heating the embossing powder, you can apply anything you want to it, such as gitter, mica powder, and so on.
I did. All you have to do now is make sure you stay far enough away from the product to avoid blowing it around. I used scraps to play around with. I discovered that holding it at a distance prevented the heat from immediately melting it. Because it could withstand the heat, I used it in metal tags. So, as long as you're not working on anything that will melt or burn, I'd say you're good to go!
Selected User Reviews For Ranger Ultra Thick Embossing Powder 6-ounce, Clear
I adore Ranger projects, but I couldn't see why the embossing was so thick. However, after giving it a try, I'm very pleased with the results on my projects. My paper was inked with a mix of Distress inks. Antique Linen and Old Paper were my lighter colors, and Aged Mahogany was used for the edges. I then used black ink to stamp images over the ink. I stuck to the vintage theme because this was supposed to be a vintage card. After everything had dried, I used clear embossing ink to cover the paper. Then I heat embossed a layer of UTEE on top. I was so pleased with the outcome that I decided to add a second layer of UTEE. The end result was a piece of paper that didn't resemble paper at all. It had a textured, aged appearance with depth and texture. This is now one of my favorite looks!.
Updated three times 19br>Now that I've had a chance to use it, I'm not a fan. When I use my heat gun to melt the powder, it sticks awfully. Approximately 90% of the flies off the paper I tried heating it from the back of the paper to make it stick, but it doesn't even work because the crystals are so large. No, this item is not something I would recommend at this time. br>br>I emboss greeting cards, and I recently saw another crafter use this product to create beautiful thick, shiny results. As a result, I had to place an order for some for myself. My order arrived today, and I was blown away by the size of the container, especially considering the price; it's enormous! Despite the fact that I have yet to use it, I believe I will have a lifetime supply of this embossing powder. I'll update my review once I've given it a try to see how it performs for me.
The product is fine, but the powder had a yellow tint when I received it. I'm not sure if this will stain my project over time, so I'll keep looking for white embossing products.
90% of the crafting world loves it and uses it. It's a thick, luscious glass-like texture. Every craft studio should have a jar, which can be used for a variety of purposes, including jewelry making, card making, pottery repair, leaded glass repair, Sculpey designs, and just about anything else you can think of.
This is fantastic. This is a lot of fun to work on. I melt it in the melting pot and use it on its own to make flowers by dipping a paper flower I made into the substance, which dries hard, shiny, and translucent. I also combine it with various UTEE colors or Ranger Melt Art Heat it Inks. Simply add white UTEE to make an opaque enamel. To make a beautiful opaque color, mix white UTEE with other colors of UTEE or Heat it Inks.
I use this product to finish my paper beads, and it's fantastic. I attempted to emboss with fine embossing powder, but it did not work. This is the one that gets the job done.
If you use too much heat, it will quickly turn yellow. Make an effort to only use a heat tool. I've tried everything; the oven wastes too much UTEE and is messy; using a pan or melting pot turns yellow quickly; but using a heat tool produces the most consistent results. It also scratches easily, so it shouldn't be used as a resin substitute.
