I boiled some down yesterday and the liquid I have (after straining it with cheesecloth and a coffee filter) is very dark and does not let light through. The article suggests just letting it sit for a month or so. I have
seen another article that suggests adding vinegar and gum arabic. <br><br>Any suggestions would be welcome (but please consider I'm going to let CJ, a 3 year old, "paint" with it as well so no overly toxic suggestions please).<br><div> </div><font size="4"><span style="font-family: garamond,new york,times,serif; color: rgb(64, 0, 127); font-weight: bold;">~Trish</span><br style="font-family: garamond,new york,times,serif;"><a rel="nofollow" style="font-family: garamond,new york,times,serif;" target="_blank" href="http://www.trishstuff.com">http://www.trishstuff.com</a><br></font><div><br></div>
