What if I mixed Black Magic Blue with some Orange Crush that turned brown? What color do you think it would turn out? Is it safe to do that?

Hi Slush,

Just do that in one of Dillon's vials, if you have one. Add a few ml Orange crush first, that slowly add the Magic Blue, one drop at a time, and see if it pleases. Than try it out biggrin.gif.

It is always best to add the darker colour in minute quantities to a larger quantity of a lighter colour, as the darker colour tends to dominate.

HTH, warm regards, Wim

Ok. I have a PR mixing kit.

Warm regards, Wim

The same way you would a pen. Fill & empty. Repeat until clear

Unless you soak the entire nylon in the ink and like the color. . . laugh.gif

It depends on your taste in nylons. Could be interesting. Make interesting leg patterns too. (I'm assuming the moisture from skin would cause an ink transfer)

I don't have any nylons. What about coffee filters? Do you know where I can get them free? laugh.gif

Hi Slush,

A coffee filter is fine too, just that you'll lose some of the ink, more than with nylons anyway. biggrin.gif

HTH, warm regards, Wim
