## Questions & Answers

**Q: how do you open the jar ???**
A: Mine was very tight, I tappped the edge of the lid on a work top several times to get rid of any trapped air, it then opened fine, used this method for 30 years with jars too 👍

**Q: Is this powder water soluble?**
A: Haven't tried it myself, but yes, according to the details on the label it can be mixed with water, or other bonding agent

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Smooth powder for shading

It’s good for shading or colouring large areas and saves time for me with my drawings. The powder is smooth and even. I recommend this.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for art
*by L***I on 2 August 2024*

Great for art, spreads easily, works well, sticks to paper. Easy to use, very smooth.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ How to get the lid off....
*by G***S on 10 May 2025*

If you grip the lid tightly and try to turn it, it probably will not budge! The particles get a very good grip and the jar would I think, collapse before letting you in! So, easy does it. Other than that I think this product is 'the standard' for this kind of work. Very ggod.
