Preventing clumps in ultramarines and oxides

Just wondering what you do to remove the clumps in the ultramarines and oxides.

Thanks

Answer:

To remove clumps in ultramarines and oxides, I mix them with some white mica and use the back of a very small spoon to 'squish' out the clumps. For some reason the mica seems to keep the mix powdery rather than clumpy.

A more common method is to use a small amount of oil instead of mica.

It is also a good idea when making the soap to add the colour before the scent....this gives you more time using the stick blender to completely blend the colour in.

Good luck,

Cathy
