I assume that you run the same risk of clogging with these as with other dusts on the market. The chemical structure and particle size should be similar to competing products. |

Thats as fast as we can get them made, especially with having to reload the current colors that sell out  |

Stupid question... pardon my ignorance. I've been using these dusts for a few years, and still don't know though. What are they made of? |

The main ingredient is Mica.
Beyond that, different dusts use different oxides.
Here is a definition of Mica:
| Quote: | | Mica is the name given to a group of naturally occurring minerals which are mined from around the world, purified, and crushed into fine powders. Mica accepts color very well and when color is added to mica, the effect can be anything from dazzling (using silver and gold tones) to muted (using opaque colors such as are used in foundations). |

If you have the needle for medium or heavy spray, it will work without clogging.
I have the fine needle and it would not spray the  Sparkle Dust
I am not telling you to do this only giving you my experience with the gun and dusts.  |
