Mortars can be applied directly or mixed with acrylic color for tinting, to create reliefs and coatings. They are best applied with a painting knife. Black Mica Mortar — Made from a mixture of acrylic polymer and black micaceous iron oxide, this mortar achieves the effect of metallic material. It can be worked equally well with a knife or a brush. Crystal Mortar — This is the thickest and heaviest mortar, made from a mixture of acrylic polymer and quartz crystals. It achieves the effects of transparent and granular materials that reflect light. When mixing with this mortar, it is preferable to use transparent colors. Mix it with Bindex to improve its attachment to the base. Dries to a gloss finish. Pumice Stone Mortar — With a base of acrylic polymer and finely crushed pumice stone, this mortar has the appearance of a fine-grained material composed of small black particles. It dries to a semi-matte finish, retaining its metallic appearance. Sand Mortar — This mortar has a thick and granular consistency resulting from an acrylic and silica polymer base, achieving the effects of granular matter. When tinted with color, it gives a beautiful effect to broken tones. It can be mixed with Bindex. Dries to a semi-matte finish. Bindex Binder — The professional's acrylic binder of choice for collages and inlay works of all kinds. Bindex is frequently used in conjunction with Pebeo's mortars to improve adhesion. Bindex is non-yellowing, translucent, and waterproof when dry. It creates a flexible and satin film. |
