I wish for them to not clump, and leave a nice smooth color. They on the other hand have decided that they are going to leave speckles of little mini clumps at times. I have tried mixing them with the fragrance oil, with a little alcohol, and just putting in directly and stirring and spraying to disperse the mini clumps. But sadly we seem to still argue 50% of the time. Any suggestions?

Try mixing them with a little tiny bit of oil or liquid vegetable glycerin. I also find that using one of these types of mini frothers helps very well, I use the silver disc on it. http://www.brambleberry.com/Mini-White- ... P4721.aspx

I use glycerin and a Aero Latte frother.

Haven't had this probably yet but I'd say they're right with the mixer and liquid glycerin. I hope I don't have this problem now! :shock:

That is a good price for the mini blender, I just got the same one on amazon for about a dollar more, but I didn't pay shipping because I have prime. It works wonderfully for mixing micas and pigments.
