Dextrose and Grainy Henna Paste Catherine Cartwright-Jones © 2004   I
started with a grainy henna paste that was difficult to work with,
which would not drape off the spoon (or drape a line), and always
cracked off the skin as it dried. I added 1 part dextrose to 3 parts
paste.
 I stirred the dextrose into the
paste.
 I stirred and the texture changed
within 1 minute.
 After 2 minutes of srirring, I
could drape the henna off the spoon.
 After 3 minutes of stirring, the
henna paste was very elastic and draped easily off the spoon.
Dextrose changed a poor textured, unworkable paste into a fine textured easily workable paste. |
