Landa Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Which is the more preferred method of preparing powdered colorant?Adding it to some oil that you have set aside or mixing it with water? Also how much should you add to a 2# batch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purple Lilac Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 I mix mine with a little olive oil but that is just my preference.It depends on what color you want to acheive as to how much to add.HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobinInOR Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 For a 2# batch I usually pull out about 1/4 to 1/3 cup of soap, and color it with 1/4-1/2 teaspoon of color. Initially I mix the dry color with a teaspoon of one of my measured soft oils, to get rid of any clumps. Then add the traced soap to that and stir it up.
