EK Success Powder Tool Applicator

The EK Success Powder Tool is filled with a specialized anti-static powder that you brush over your paper before stamping. This invisible barrier breaks the surface tension and neutralizes static electricity, ensuring stray embossing powder or glitter wipes away cleanly. It leaves a clean surface so the embossing powder only sticks to the wet ink.

Yes, the Powder Tool Applicator is designed to be refillable, and EK Success sells specific refill packets of the anti-static powder. When the applicator runs low, you simply pop off the cap or pour the new powder directly into the brush compartment. This makes it a highly economical tool for dedicated scrapbookers and card makers.

While both the EK Success Powder Tool and the Stampin' Up Embossing Buddy serve the exact same anti-static purpose, they are made by different manufacturers. Many crafters actually prefer the EK Success tool because the brush is slightly softer and the powder flows more evenly onto dark cardstock. They are completely interchangeable in the crafting process.

You must be careful using the EK Success Powder Tool over backgrounds that rely on moisture, like watercoloring, as the anti-static powder can repel water and cause splotchy results. It is best applied to completely dry, smooth cardstock before using VersaMark or clear embossing ink. If you apply it over a finished piece, it can leave a greasy or chalky residue.
