Thank you! I achieve the 3-D dot effect by mixing a 2 part polymer thickener into my usual paint base (which is my own formula). It’s very tricky, to get the proportions of chemicals just right, and i do it with the windows open because it does make a toxic fume. Then there’s a very limited working time before the paint sets up and hardens, so, i usually spend all day just focused on making those dots before my paint seizes up.

Also, it’s very hard to get the dots to dry perfectly shiny, like candies, they often end up pitted like the lunar surface, and require extra layers to be nice and smooth = a lot of work!!!
