The different colors are not on top of each other but they will be touching

I do or they tend to run into each other. For me anyway, Royal Icing and I don't get along as well as some do............ icon_biggrin.gif

Not necessarily. If you're careful and your icing isn't too thin, you can pipe colors right next to each other. If you outline different colored areas with thicker royal, then you definitely don't have to wait.

See that's my problem, everytime I go to make it thicker to line the line stays for me..........grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr so I just kinda flow my colors in seperately. I'm still trying though. One day I'll get it right.

Sorry, I'm saying the line stays noticable, someone told me to let it go then fill in after a few min. , I was just watching a video from kitchen collections that showed you to line it then right away flow it in. Duh makes sense now.

Gotcha. icon_biggrin.gif Yes, fill in right after doing the outline and it should be less noticeable. Also, with practice, you'll be able to fill in just enough to slightly overlap the outline to make it less noticeable. There's a fine line between enough and too much!
