Fusion Opaque Gray Extra Light Drawing Ink 30ml

Complete guide: Fusion Opaque Gray Extra Light Drawing Ink 30ml

Fusion Opaque Gray Extra Light is the lightest shade in the range of five opaque Fusion grays, designed for drawing — not for tattooing, as explicitly stated by the manufacturer. Unlike a semi-transparent gray wash that builds up through successive layers, this ink has full opacity, covering evenly in a single pass thanks to the combination of Titanium Dioxide with a minimal amount of Carbon Black in the formula. It comes in a 30 ml bottle, the standard format of the range, and can be mixed with the other four Opaque Gray shades for custom intermediate tones. It is suitable for anyone working with light gray shades in drawing and wanting a uniform, predictable tone without building it up through multiple layers.

How to use

1. Check the label and note the product's intended use: this ink is for drawing, not for tattooing — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
2. Shake the bottle well for 60-90 seconds before each use to homogenize the pigment, which tends to settle.
3. Pour the required amount into a cap or disposable container; do not insert used tools or brushes directly into the original bottle to avoid contaminating the remaining contents.
4. Due to full opacity, a single pass/application is usually sufficient for the desired shade — multiple layers are not needed as with a semi-transparent gray.
5. For an intermediate shade, mix Extra Light with another shade from the Opaque Gray range (Light, Medium, Dark, Extra Dark) directly in the cap, in the desired proportion.
6. Dispose of any unused leftovers remaining in the cap after each session — do not pour them back into the original bottle.
7. Close the bottle cap tightly after use and store it at room temperature, away from direct sunlight.
8. Check the batch number on the label (each batch is traceable according to the manufacturer), especially if the bottle has been unopened for a long time.

Tips from us

• Being an opaque shade, apply in a firm, even pass — multiple passes can darken the tone more than intended.
• Test the shade on a sample support before using it on the final work, especially if it's your first time working with this shade.
• For fine tonal control, keep the neighboring shades from the range (Light, Medium) handy — you can achieve intermediate hues by mixing directly in the cap.
• Do not leave the bottle cap open longer than necessary — prolonged exposure to air and light can affect the pigment consistency over time.
• If you frequently use light gray shades, the individual 30 ml bottle or the complete set with the 5 Opaque Gray shades offers greater flexibility in combinations.
• Keep the original packaging handy to easily identify the batch if any product-related questions arise.
