Since they contain a bit of water, they are not true universal colorants. Mettalics are best used in water-based finishes, but can also be used in shellac and epoxy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMetallics are most effective in clear finishes. They can be used in paints or other colored finishes, but some finishes may have larger pigment particles that will obscure the metallic effect.) When mixing metallics with Mixol universal tints, use the non-Oxide colors (bottles with white caps) as the larger pigments of the Oxides (bottles with red caps) may obscure the metallic sparkle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlways test Metallic mixtures before using on your project. You will want to make sure you can acheive you desired level of sparkle in your chosen finish. In addition, you'll need to check the viscosity of your finish with Mixol Metallic in it. They can make some finishes too thick. We recommend mixing metallics slowly and extensively to insure complete dispersal of the flakes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMixol is a universal tint that can be mixed into many finishing products - water-based, solvent-based, oil-based. It can be mixed with paint, stain, epoxy, glaze, shellac, lacquer, putty, filler, grout and many other products. It's easily cleaned up with water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMixol metallics are not a finish on their own, they must be mixed with finish to work. Metallics are concentrated so you won't need a lot - think drops, not ounces. The pigments are the highest quality - sourced from all over the world. Mixol tints are made in Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMixol tints are available in 30g (~1oz) and 300g (~10oz) bottles. Maximum recommended concentration (by weight) is 10%, but 3-5% is usually enough.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca name=\"moreinfo\"\u003e \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6 class=\"addinfo\" style=\"background: #E0D7C6;\"\u003eAdditional Information\u003c\/h6\u003e \n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca data-prev-url=\"\/library\/manuals\/mixol\/all-about-mixols.pdf\" href=\"https:\/\/info.highlandwoodworking.com\/library\/manuals\/mixol\/all-about-mixols.pdf\"\u003e All about Mixol - a guide to Mixol from the Mixol USA \u003c\/a\u003e PDF\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca data-prev-url=\"\/library\/manuals\/mixol\/mixol-metallic-effects-tints.pdf\" href=\"https:\/\/info.highlandwoodworking.com\/library\/manuals\/mixol\/mixol-metallic-effects-tints.pdf\"\u003e Mixol Metallic Information Sheet \u003c\/a\u003e PDF\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca data-prev-url=\"\/library\/manuals\/mixol\/mixol-metallic-effects-brochure.pdf\" href=\"https:\/\/info.highlandwoodworking.com\/library\/manuals\/mixol\/mixol-metallic-effects-brochure.pdf\"\u003e Mixol Metallic Brochure \u003c\/a\u003e PDF\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca data-prev-url=\"\/library\/manuals\/mixol\/mixol-metallic-shade-card.pdf\" href=\"https:\/\/info.highlandwoodworking.com\/library\/manuals\/mixol\/mixol-metallic-shade-card.pdf\"\u003e Mixol Metallic Shade Card \u003c\/a\u003e PDF\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"cursor: pointer;

What is Mixol?\nA Universal Tint that can be mixed into many different products. Almost anything that is\nwater, solvent based and quality oil-based materials. If you are tinting something transparent\nlike epoxy, your finish will stay transparent. The addition of Mixols won’t make a clear\nmaterial opaque. Some examples of materials to tint: paints, stain, epoxy, glaze, shellac,\nlacquer, glue, concrete, putty, grout, Venetian Plaster, lime-based plasters and materials like\nchalk paints, polyurethane, paste wax, tung oil, varnish, wood fillers etc....\n\n2. Are Mixols made from Dyes or Pigments?\nPigments. The main benefit of a pigment is that the color won't fade, especially in sunlight.\nSome Mixol colors are exterior grade also, made from In-organic pigments. This is the Oxide\ncollection – 15 colors to choose from. Look for the red caps, and Oxide in their color name.\nPigments don't dissolve like dyes do. So, the higher quality of Mixol helps here, as the pigment\nsize is very tiny, and they are not \"grainy\". Pigments can’t be mixed into just water or alcohol\nlike dyes. Mixols (pigment) needs a binder, or product to be added into. Water or Alcohol\njust isn’t enough.\n\n3. Red Caps vs. White Caps?\nMixols are made with Organic and In-organic pigments. You can tell the difference by the\ntops on the bottles. The white tops are Organic pigments. There are 18 colors in this collection.\nThe red caps are made from In-organic pigments and are called Oxides. There are 15 oxide\ncolors available. The Oxide collection is totally color-fast and fade resistant. They are graded\nfor exterior use. They can tint concrete and all lime-based materials, along with silicones and\nsilicates.\n\n4. How to use the Metallic Mixols?\nMixol now has Metallic tints – Gold, Silver and Copper. Available in the small and medium\nbottles. Measured in grams: 20gm and 200 gm for the Silver and Copper. Gold is heavier at\n30gm and 300gm bottle sizes. Use to get special effects from a subtle shimmer to an opaque\nmetal finish. These can be added to the regular Mixols. The metallics aren’t considered a full\nuniversal colorant, as some water was added to this mixture. Metallic Mixols are ideal in any\nwater-based product. They are also outstanding in epoxies and shellacs. Experiment and have\nfun!\n\n5. Why is Mixol More Expensive Than Other Brands?\nMixols are made in Germany and are considered the highest quality tint on the US retail\nmarket.\n• Mixol sources the highest quality pigments from around the world – mainly throughout\nEurope and Africa.\n• Mixols are known for their concentration and deep color saturation.\n• Mixols have an indefinite shelf life – they will never dry out or harden over time. Even\nafter they are opened.\n• Mixols are resistant to heat or freezing issues. Can be kept in a work van with no worries\nof the temperatures.\n• Mixols offer a 33-color assortment, plus 3 metallic shades\n• Mixols offer a white tint - #25\n• Mixol offers 15 Oxide pigments – totally color fast, fade resistant, exterior grade, able to\ntint complex coatings and lime-based materials.\n• Mixol colors have remained consistent over the years, no tint is ever discontinued\n• Mixols have a super fine particle size, and are easily dispersed into many mediums, a sign\nof good quality. They blend quickly and completely\n• Mixols provide free color charts in several varieties and languages\n• Mixols were re-formulated to have lower VOC counts\n• Mixols come in 3 size bottles – for samples\/tests up to large projects. 20ml, 200ml, and\n500ml, and liters\n\nA Universal Tint that can be mixed into many different products.
