I made a very pretty color flow stained glass, with candle. It turned out very nice, but the next day I could see the black outline bleeding into the lighter colors. 2 days later the transfer is not useable because most of it has turned dark. I was practicing for some Christmas cakes. Glad I did this this far ahead of time,so I will know not to make more for Christmas. Is there any solution for the bleeding?
Last summer for ICES I was using this method on my cake and like usually I waited until last minute to do it. The first one I did I let my black outline dry very well for several hours in the oven with just the light one. If I was trying it the regular way I'd probably had let it dry over night. I added the other colors and right after I finish flooding the last part I dropped the bag on top of the piece. Lets just say it wasn't a pretty site. I tried fixing it but it wasn't gonna work. So I laid it aside and started a second one. On this one I did not let the black outline dry as much before flooding and I had to get it all done and drying to it would be done by the time I was leaving.
The very next day on the second one you can see where the black was already bleeding into the other colors. When I got back from the New Orleans after the convention I looked at the first one that was still on the counter and it had not bleed at all.
Moral of all of that, is that I do believe that if you let your dark or back outlines dry very good before you do the flooding it helps to cut down on the bleeding.
yes, if you are using a black outline and flooding with lighter colors i would give the outline significant (a day) time to dry before flooding.
