Judea bitumen powder, 100 g. Ground natural asphalt, undissolved. You decide the strength.
Why powder rather than liquid
Liquid Judea bitumen arrives ready diluted, at a strength the manufacturer chose. The powder lets you choose it: heavy on powder for an opaque near-black, light on powder for a transparent glaze that still shows the wood underneath. If you would rather open the tin and start without mixing anything, the Titan liquid Judea bitumen suits you better.
How to dissolve it
In white spirit or turpentine, never in water. Sprinkle the powder onto the solvent rather than the other way round, stir, and leave it a few hours until no lumps remain; strain off any residue. Always test on a hidden area before going near the good piece.
What it works on
  • Wood: patinas, ageing and bringing out the grain.
  • Plaster: mouldings, frames and casts.
  • Clay and unglazed ceramic bisque.
  • Worked metal and hardware.
  • Gilding: knocks back the shine of gold leaf and gilt.
It needs a porous or textured surface to grip. On a smooth sealed surface it slides off and leaves no effect.
Handling and storage
It is a fine solid powder: handle it in a ventilated area and avoid breathing it in while decanting or stirring. Once dissolved, the precautions that matter are those of the solvent you chose, not of the bitumen: white spirit and turpentine are flammable, so read their label and work away from flames. Keep the container tightly closed and dry.
Frequently asked questions
What do you thin Judea bitumen powder with?
White spirit or turpentine. It does not dissolve in water.
How far does a 100 g pack go?
It depends how strong you mix it. Being undiluted product, it goes considerably further than 100 ml of liquid bitumen, which already has the solvent in it.
Powder or liquid?
Powder if you want to control the tone or work at several strengths. Liquid if you want to start without preparing anything.
Can you paint over it?
Yes, once dry it takes acrylic and water-based paint.
Does it carry hazard pictograms?
The powder is supplied as a solid, with no solvent. The product that is classified as hazardous is the liquid bitumen, because of the solvent in it; the full classification is on the Titan pages.
