Members Tina Posted June 27, 2013 Members Report Posted June 27, 2013 I got a really cool pink pretty easily out of red and white, but I was using Createx Translucent colors. ... 4 drops worth, it dries up pretty quick even though its more than enough to do extra projects with. First I thought that I missed the white dye then I read that you used a different brand :-) Angelus red dye does not really come out a nice pink color (in my book) when deluted, it looks more like just a deluted red??? Even if the dye dries out in a container I just refill with some alcohol and "Bob's your oncle", works like a charm even if the amount might be slightly smaller than original.

That's what i was doing with some other stuff and my acrylic paints. But, I have a gold paint that I really don't want to thin at all and it's $16 for a little tiny bottle, so I don't want a bunch to dry out. But, when this stuff starts to dry up I'll see if I can restore it But, I bought those little disposable dip cups just for the purpose of mixing dyes and paints. Like these - but not at this ridiculous price. They're like $3 or so for a pretty big package. http://www.amazon.co...=pd_sim_sbs_k_1 Oh yeah, and I thought we were talking about pink ACRYLIC, not Dye...Oops yeah, I've never found a good pink dye and don't think I'd ever try mixing one. I pretty much say "any color that's based in white at all will have to be acrylic". Now, if they've got a good pink dye, I'm all for it. I just couldn't find one when I went looking.

The Angelus pink spirit dye is actually really good, I enclose a quick dyechart I did a few years ago, it goes from totally undeluted to way more than 50% deluted in the picture :-) Quote "He who works with his hands is a laborer.
