I tried the luster dust for the first time on candy melt letters. How much luster dust to liquid (this case I tried the clear vanilla) should I use? I know the look could have been better but I wasn't sure the ratio's to use.

When I applied it to the candy letters some areas pooled with liquid so I think I had too much liquid but prior to adding more it didn't seem like enough to have that shimmery look.

When you use the dusts on chocolate or candy melts, you can dry brush it on as long as the choc/melts are at room temp. Works great!

Or just use very little vodka or lemon extract on your brush.
