I want to start painting with idye poly and I plan on using free and clear detergent as a base. I'm pretty sure this has been done before but I need to know, what ratios do you use to mix with the dye powder?
I've got 1 cup mason jars to store them and my initial thought is to cut open the dye packets and mix it straight into about a cup of the detergent. I was thinking maybe mix the powder with as little detergent as possible to dissolve it and then increase the volume to a sufficient quantity.
Has anyone done this? Is it a better idea to dissolve it in water before mixing with the detergent? I'd rather do it right the first time so any thoughts are welcome.
