What ratio of petal dust to alcohol does everyone use for painting on fondant and gumpaste (especially when using the metalics)? Thanks.

I mix a paintbrush full dabbed into the dust and drop into the cover of the dust. Then I pour from the alcohol into the cap of the alcohol bottle and pour a little at a time until I get to the thickness/thinness I'm looking for.

Didn't realize you could mix petal with alcohol, Duh!!

Put just enough liquid to make a thin paste. Thicker is better.

Thanks everyone! I think I was just making mine too thin and adding the color to the alcohol, instead of the other way around. In the words of MissRobin...duh! ha ha

Sweet_Guys, your detailed discription helps alot....I will try it that way next time.

Make sure the alcohol you use is edible. I use vodka.

Exactly Mug-a-Bug! Think of all the time we'll save! ha ha
