I'm using Black Velvet HS Color Shine. I've sprayed it on two normal sheets of Bazzill cardstock, and an hour later, it is still wet and smeary. I've never had a mist or spritz take so long to dry and am starting to wonder if it will ever dry. LOL

I haven't used mine in a while. I remember not liking the HS black color shine so I stopped using it. Mostly I mix up black gesso and water now to mist. Have you tried using a heat tool to dry it?

I second the heat tool. I let all the HS mists dry overnight before finishing the layout.

I haven't used the black but all my other colors can take a little while, maybe an hour or so on plain paper. But I'm not a real heavy mister. I'd imagine if you are using a ton it will take much longer. I recently sprayed some white ribbon with quite a lot of the gold lame HS spray. I wanted it to be VERY gold. I set it on top of my cable box to dry (because that stays warm) and it took almost three hours.

I always use my heat tool.

I'm going to have to dig out my heat tool. It has been about five hours, and it is still not dry. Thanks for the advice.

A lot of Bazzill seems to have a sort of coating on it so it may not absorb quickly. I haven't used mist on Bazzill yet since I've been using non-textured card stock. That tip about the heating tool is good. I'll remember that one. Thanks.

I usually blot it with a paper towel to remove any excess, so it seems to dry quickly. I'll just spray on a second /third coat if I want a darker color.

Since I had moved on to another LO, I decided to let the page sit overnight. I checked it this morning (so it has actually been over two nights), and it is still sticky - and I only touched an area that had obviously soaked into the paper. So, my question has now turned into a "fair warning" to anyone else using it for the first time.

odd, because I've always found it dries within a few minutes.

Interesting...I only have used the gold lame color and it dried within 15-20 minutes, but the paper is not heavily coated and there wasn't any sort of finish on the paper I used.

Interesting to read that so many people have issues with these taking a long time to dry. I feel like mine is always dry within a couple minutes and I don't use a heat tool.
The inky mist I have issues with drying is the mister Huey white which seems to be a common problem.
I use a lot of oatterned paper as backgrounds so maybe that is why?

Funny, I find gold lame takes a long time to dry. But I don't mind because I love it.
