Pink Dye Techniques?

[RiverRat]

Curious if anyone has a good method of making a pink dye for tooling? I have come up with a couple of methods, but they have limitations when trying to use with multi-colors. The white dyes are a total waste of money and effort and do not mix with either the alcohol based or oil based dyes. The pink paint doesn't cut the mustard.

Thanks.

Angelus does a couple of pink dyes, saves trying to mix them up they are fairly intense but can be lightened with their neutral, I bought mine from here http://turtlefeathers.net/text/angelus/dye.html

Another option might be Eco-Flo All-In-One in Primrose Red... This is a softer, more mellow pink...

I will try the Angus, thanks Claire.

I do have some of the Tandy water based, but haven't been able to get good saturation, yet. Another issue with it has been surface cracking with flexing and use. I have a method using Fiebling's, but I have not been real successful with with multi-coloring with combinations. I called them and their recommendation was an oxblood with yellow, which comes out more of a flesh biege. I just need about 10 years of experimentation.

Here's where I am with pink with the Fieblings alcohol based dies, just need to get the combinations going that are more consistent from project to project, The color is very hit or miss with no whites or shading controls other than my wash;

Thanks much for the input.
