Mica Powders: Photos and more links (general signmaking)

Hi again,
I was digging around looking for some "Goof-Off" liquid to remove some latex paint spatters earlier today, and finally ran across my bag of Mica Powders. I bought them from Rick at Esoteric a long time ago, but all the labels say they are from Sepp Leaf. The little baggies above are actually "sampler" colors and the whole lot sold for around $50. There is enough mica in these bags to last a long time if just dusting some tacky paint, and also a long time if mixing in with clear varnishes. Of the colors we used, they seem to be a lot more transparent than regular metallic bronzing powders. (each little sampler baggie is about 4" square, with 36 colors total)

I used the "SEARCH" feature of this site and typed in "mica and powder". Putting the AND in causes the search utility to find posts with both words in them. Without the AND, it will find posts with mica, or powder, or mica powder. Using thd AND, I narrowed the search to just two very specific posts. Without the AND, it brought up 38 posts.
