Hi there, does anyone knows if I can use white rum to paint with gold luster dust?, I ran out of vodka and didn't notice and I don't have lemon extract either but I have almond extract, can I use this or rum? I really don't want to go and buy vodka if I can use any of this, unless it's necessary. Thanks for the help!
try the rum, it may not evaporate, or dry as quickly, I even used tequila once! You gotta do what you gotta do.
Yes, you can, but remember that you will have a residual taste of rum where you use it.

I have never tried orange extract, because the alcohol content on the brand I have is too low to keep the media underneath the painting from mushing up.
What brand do you use?

I don't know abut rum extract, is that what you're asking about? I've used actual rum (and we drink spiced, so there is a slight colouring to it)
And as for aftertaste, if you're using the actual alcohol, I've never noticed any aftertaste, but I would think if you used rum extract you'd have a taste. Those things are strong!
I've also used white rum to paint on different dusts so I don't see why it wouldn't work. However I am no expert, and just getting started on painting
As fas as I've read, no water isn't a great option. Water dries much slower than alcohol. I've never used water, but who knows, I guess it's worth a try if you've no other options.
I'm sure run will work just fine. Everclear is my fav. I've been using the smae bottle of it for ever.
Am I the only one welcoming the thought of being forced *sigh* to buy a whole bottle of vodka when I only need a few drops??
What a bummer that would be to have extra vodka on your hands....what in the world would I do with extra vodka??
Ok, sorry....I'm done. Summer vacation and 4 kids has me teetering near the edge of sanity.

LOL, so true. Well, I'm happy to report that I used the white rum and it work perfectly, it dried super fast and did not taste at all. Thank you all, and now you know we have another choice to paint with luster dust.
