From what I'm finding it sounds like these pearls are being sold in both liquid and powder forms. :huh:
In the liquid form I believe the base is the same used for Universal Tints like are used in paint stores (they don't have separate tints for oil and water based paints). I think it is some form of glycol. If I remember right, it is a liquid that is soluble in both oil and water based paints, but only up to a certain point then it starts affecting how the paint drys and such things.
The term "Xyrellic" seems to indicate the pearl is made with aluminum dioxide instead of mica. I've read that Auto Air colors are available with them too, but I can't confirm that at AA's site so I'm not taking that as gospel just yet.
I'm still a bit worried about the size of the flake, but who knows?
If you test any of these please send me a sample! They sound fascinating, but my dance card is full for the foreseeable future.
I believe "the shack's first DIY offering" refers to Black Widow, but the way my memory has been failing me lately... whoa.
