o If you need to paint more than one layer for even coverage allow each coat to dry completely before starting a new one.

WARNING: 
• It is advised that these powders must be blended into a neutral ph product as an acidic environment will denature some of the colours. I.E. Purple will stay or become a dull blue over time, Brown and Black will become greenish. 
• Some colours such as the Reds, Purples, Black and often Brown develops to a darker shade over time. Give these colours at least two hours to develop after it was mixed into products such as fondant, butter/royal icing etc before use. Reds become redder, purples deeper
