This is really screwy I typed in shop bakers nook . com and it came across as a cake central link......I'm confused. Try typing it in your browser and see if it works (no spaces)

I got this one to work, but it's just lustre dust, not mixed with anything.

I didn't either till yesterday but it is so shiny when you paint it on. And it's so much eaiser then mixing it and getting right consistency. It was $3.99 at my local supply store and I got all 3 colors plus I got pearl airbursh color. I haven't tried that yet but I'm hoping for a good outcome.

does anyone know if you can put luster dust into a reg. airbrush? i'm doing a cake this weekend and was hoping that it wouldn't clog... i was going to mix it into the airbrush color w/out adding anything else

You need to mix it with vodka or everclear to use it in a airbrush. It needs to be very thin like airbrush color. I'm not sure mixing it with airbrush color would give you much of shine. You could try mixing a little in a cup and see how well it mixes and try painting it with a brush to see what kind of finish you get. I don't know if it would clog or not. HTH

Do you use the regular or the extra virgin oil?
