Thanks!

I have two questions for you as I note you do not list any negatives:
1. The pigment appears very clumpy in the pictures, so do you need to do any prep work to rectify this?
2. Do you find the colour range available restrictive?

Thank you for the review.

Darren,
In answer to your questions:




I believe the clumping occurred because the pigments are very finely ground and adhere very well - they are sticking together . All it took was to touch them with a brush to have the "clumps" break up. I believe this is more of a 'appearance' thing in the photos than a problem.




I note the 21 colors listed on the TankRat website and that they are adding additional colors to the line. I think at this time that they offer a broad selection of colors to choose from and additional colors are forthcoming.

I didn't mark any 'lows' as the product worked as advertised, really adheres to surfaces well, doesn't require a 'fixative' overcoat and for the amount in the container, the cost is very reasonable.
Having used a wide variety of pigments/powders over the years I found these to be among the best I've come across.

Cheers,
Charles

Thank you for that Charles.
