On the picture for this set, it says "professional" acrylic. Is that what the tubes will say in the set I am considering ordering? Thanks.

Yes. And they're very good quality. I have several sets of these paints, as well as separate tubes of different colors not sold in sets. They do range in opacity. Little tip, make sure you screw the caps on tightly otherwise the paints get a little cottage-cheese like. Also, after not using them for a while, the caps tend to stick so you have to muscle them off. Worth the effort though.

Without getting into any chemistry, they are from different sources. Acrylic is a synthetic polymer from the petro-chemical industry. Common forms would be Lucite and Plexiglass. Acetate is a natural polymer that was originally processed from trees and cotton. The most recognized forms of Acetate would be rayon, celluloid used in photographic film, and nitro-cellulose lacquer.As we see them in pen blanks, they are two plastics with similar properties. Acrylic is more brittle than Acetate, and that would make the Acetate the easier to turn on a lathe. Both are soluble in Acetone. It would work the same on both.__________________ Without getting into any chemistry, they are from different sources. Acrylic is a synthetic polymer from the petro-chemical industry.

When I bought mine, they were listed/sold as individual tubes. I ordered 10 tubes and paid about $49 for the 10 tubes (even though the listed price was 1 cent each) because of the shipping. Shipping was added separately to each of the 10 tubes (which is why it was so much) even though they shipped them all together in one envelope. I tried to get some of the postage refunded without success. I don't know, specifically, about this seller, but I would assume that price would be for about 10 tubes. If you can't find this information in their listing, I would suggest contacting the seller to be sure. When I bought mine, they were listed/sold as individual tubes.

The question isn't as easily answered as I thought it would be. From their appearance to me, I believe the structure of the tubes is metal. They seem heavy enough and they certainly are sturdy. To get a "for sure" answer, you might have to contact Vivitar.

I've had my Bodylastics for awhile and if I remember correctly, DGS is an improvement that prevents the tubes from being overstretched. Last I knew, all the new sets have DGS. My set is pre-DGS and I haven't broken any tubes and continue to use them years after the purchase.

I think these beads are acrylic, not glass. (I don't think they are heavy enough to be cut glass. But is a very good looking fixture.

It's acrylic. Obviously of good quality since it hasn't etched or marked since we got ours a long while ago.

They are raw because if they are varnished I can not do engraving or artwork. I do varnish them for a small upcharge. If that is what you need you will have to contact me before ordering.404.8227512Thank you for your interest.Papa Rudy

I do acrylic tips on people so it's important for the nail polish to dry quickly as I need to move on to designs and etc. I have to say the nailpolishes are pretty good. The colors are amazing, however it's not for people that like simple plain colors. The set has neon colors glitter colors and colors you didn't even know existed. The set came sooner then I expected it and none was broken (thank god). I thought I was making a mistake in purchasing it until I received it . And I LOVE it. So do the people I do acrylics on. They go crazy with all the colors to choose from.Don't be skeptical about it because as long as you loveeeeee colorful colors then the set is perfect. Promise !

Not anything like the items you mentioned. Works well on my acrylic tubs. Just don't breathe it in deeply it does have a little odor.

Here's what I found from another online source. I have used this specific set, but I think Uni-Posca also makes another set this is larger and is acrylic markers. These are ink, not acylic. Here's the info. If you use these, they are water-based and will interact with wet acrylic or watercolor. I used them in mixed media. They are lovely. Just remember, if you add water to them, they will move. See the info I pasted below. If you want their acrylic pain pens, these are NOT the paint markers. Set includes: red, orange, yellow, pale green, green, light blue, blue, purple, pink, brown, white, and black. These opaque felt tip markers can write on a variety of surfaces including plastic, metal, wood, glass, plastic, plaster, canvas and more. Paint can be scraped off from nonporous surfaces like glass, etc. but will adhere permanently to porous surfaces such as wood, paper, etc. Water-based pigment ink is non-toxic, lightfast and waterproof. The ink won't bleed through paper (unlike alcohol-based markers) and is excellent for vibrant signs and craft work.

there is some cracking of the acrylic. It is intact, but spontaneously cracking thruout acrylic.
