All About Gemini Heat Set Paints

Gemini Heat Set Paints & Varnishes

Gemini Colors

All of the Gemini colors are made with ingredients that are non-toxic and inherently UV-resistant with no additives or experimental ingredients.

The pigments have a high tint strength and are weather fast.

Using a temperature between 265 and 270 F and leaving it in for 10-12 min. seams to work the best. We have tried 8-10 min with pretty good results. We encourage you to experiment with the times and temperatures in your own oven.

We encourage you to use the Gemini Heat Set thinner to thin the colors. It is not solvent based, non flammable, non-toxic and was designed for this line.

Gemini Heat Set Varnishes

Are all made with ingredients that are non-toxic and UV resistant with no additives or experimental ingredients.

They are designed to use strait out of the jar without thinning.

Matte Varnish:
Putting on as thin a layer as possible strait from the jar will give the maximum matte affect as long as you have full coverage.

Satin Varnish:
Is applied like the matte varnish by putting on as thin a layer as possible strait from the jar to get the maximum affect as long as you have full coverage.

Thick Medium:
This is designed to use by itself or mixed with paint at whatever thickness you want.

Glazing Gel:
Is used for Glazing or it has the properties to be a paint base so you can add pigment to make custom colors.

Look Alive:
Sets on its own so it can be used as a glaze and has a little more texture than the thinning medium or it can be used as a thinning medium. Because it sets on its own there is no maximum limit when using as a thinner.

Thinning Medium:
Sets on its own so it can be used as a glaze and has a slight texture or can be used as a thinning medium. Because it sets on its own there is no maximum limit when using as a thinner.

Using a temperature between 265 and 270 F. and leaving it in for 12-15 min. seams to work the best. We know that 15 min. at 270 works good and also have tried 12 min. with pretty good results. We encourage you to experiment with your oven to see what time and temperature works best for you.

Gemini Heat Set Thinner

This thinner was designed especially for the Gemini heat-set line. It is not solvent based, non-toxic and non-flammable.

It does not evaporate like a solvent based thinner does, it stays mixed with the paint.

It will work with other heat set paints and cleans up with rubbing alcohol or soap and water.

It also works as a good brush cleaner.

I can attest that these paints dissolve the best in solvent thinners of any brand I have tried now. I do not use just solvent in my paint mixes but if I were in a country where I had to I would use these paints. I hope that BB is shipping these paints worldwide for those of you looking for something new.

On another note, I went back and touched up the shiny spots on my test belly plate. I took a brush, dipped it in the varnish and stippled it into the creases and over the belly button and its creases as well as the spot a the top of the plate I had missed. I then pounced over it with a wedge. I heat set it at 270F for 12 mins. It came out beautifully matte! Slightly textured and totally matte. I am over the moon with this varnish! If you are looking for a varnish that has a totally smooth finish then you might not like this but if you are ok with a slight texture that lets you know it is well matted you will love this like me. I plan to switch to this varnish from now on!

I just ordered 5 jars of the varnish today! I wish it came in bigger jars. I debated waiting to see if they put it on sale but since it is so good I decided to get it while they have plenty of stock. I have a feeling people are going to be buying a lot of it now. E-borns Emily is recommending it on her site now too.

They did have all the Gemini line on sale last week or the week before. I don’t know if it’s something they will regularly put on sale, but it was on sale.

I am always late! LOL
