About the Gemini Heat Set Line
Gemini Heat Set 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 a solvent based thinner. It is non flammable, non-toxic and was designed for this line. If you don’t have access to it, solvent based thinners work just fine.
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. However, they can be thinned but it would be totally experimental on what affect you would get.
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 has no maximum limit when mixing with paint. It can be used as a glaze or primer as well as a thinning medium. It has a little more texture than the regular thinning medium.
Thinning Medium:
Sets on its own so it has no maximum limit when mixing with paint. It can be used as a glaze or primer and has a slight texture.
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 with one bake 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 and 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 great as a brush cleaner.
