    Can you mix acrylic powder with gel?

    Why has this post been reignited from over 2 years ago. The same still stands from then to now. A product line train us or tell us to read the instructions for use & Unless ‘Indiana’ ‘is different to the UK we should not mix products because : 1. These are because the manufactures have...
