Distress Spray Stain 1.9oz-Cracked Pistachio

Love Tim Holtz products, always really good quality. The stains are nice and vibrant and really easy to use. Be careful about getting it on your skin however as I have found the stains don't just wash off like other distress products but of course it still reacts to water as that is how they are designed. I also use Lindy's sprays and Cosmic Shimmer as well as sprays I make myself, and I have found that for some reason the distress stains take longer to dry than the other brands I use - if you are using it on a canvas board don't heat it to dry it as it will warp the wood, you can speed up drying time by dabbing up excess liquid with some kitchen towel but be careful not to suck too much up or it could drawthe colour back off your project. Would absolutely recommend, really great product, especially when you don't want to add shimmer to things as most of the other sprays I have are glittery or shimmery.

A nice colour. I wish it was stronger though.

I love most of the Tim Holts products. This color in particular is a favorite.i use it to create background color for my Gelli plate designs it's a staple in my toolbox!

Ranger Distress Stain has a 3 year shelf life, according to the VP who responded to my inquiry. I wondered as some of the colors have changed in the bottle. I replaced my old, discolored stains and was happily moving forward with my art projects until I realized that some of the new product was changing color before my very eyes. BOO to Ranger for this product. FYI, the markers did the same so are in the trash.
