I have 2 questions.

1. Do I need to wait until the fondant is completely dry before painting, or do I need to paint before it dries,or does it just not matter?

2. What is the ratio of color gel to alcohl?
Thanks so much!!

You can paint whenever. thumbs_up.gif

As for the ratio, it depends on how much color you need. I put a little color in a small bowl and use a medicine dropper to add the vodka a little at a time until I get the right paint consistency. It should be too thick and goopy and should not be very runny--this is the same for mixing dusts as well. HTH icon_biggrin.gif
