In reply to: Re: 12 - 24- 48 hours after mixing in the Caj ...patience does the job! posted by Kree at Gilded Lilies on August 2, 2001 at 03:05:13:

There does seem to be some difference ....
but this first round of tests was a bit of a shotgun blast. Now, over
the next 6 months I'll do the fine-tuning.
All of the mixes seemed to have that 12- 48 hour window ... but I
think there's more to be learned.
Kenzi's did peak up quickly, and I know it was good at 24 hours. The
Indian and Pakistani are certainly holding brilliant color at 48
hours.
Much more testing to be done!

Shanon and I were talking today about the potential for working up
half kilo batches and preserving them in the fridge in little jam jars
with the air sealed out (like granny in the kitchen doing blackberry
jam) ... and seeing what the dye curve does. It would beyond
wonderful if a batch could be done up at once and kept cool for
future use say for a month or three. Then .... no more scrambling for
suprise clients ... and no more wondering how much to make for a show!
If I can nail that info down ... yeehawww!
