motherhues Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 I bought a ton of stuff off an old soaper..she said they were 2 years old but then come to find out from ANOTHER local soaper than she went to look and they are actually 12 years old...sigh.. I am still happy with how much I spent ($100) because there was a 1 ounce bottle of sandalwood in there under the huge pound bottles :D but I have a few questions.There was a big ol dusty box full of oxides and ultramarines. I have always used Clay and Herbs to color my soaps so I have NO idea what to do with these.Do oxides and ultramarines have a "best by" date or will they color forever? Can I use them in a room spray for kids for monsters and sweet dreams or do they not disolve in water? Or will they dye everything they touch? lol... including the kids and the $300 Pottey barn blanket (no, not mine, my customers, lol)anyhow, complete newbie here about these colors hopefully I wont have to toss the whole box...

cindym Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Oxides I mix with oil, ultramarines water. No you cannot use them in sprays, yes they will stain everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motherhues Posted October 30, 2008 Author Share Posted October 30, 2008 thank you! Do you know if they have a shelf life? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruina Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 They're great for soaps. Mix with a tiny bit of oil or water to remove clumps. Add to a bit of your soap batter and swirl in the pot or in the mold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 thank you! Do you know if they have a shelf life?I've not seen that they do.I use a little veg. glycerin and mix mine. I actually don't like ultramarines, but I'll use them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
