I ordered a set of soap paints, thinking I was getting red in the bunch. But, turns out it is a dark pink. Can I add red colorant to it or will that destroy the paint?

Why don't you make your own red colorant instead of mixing the two?

I would love to -- but, want to match "formula" of the other paints (ingredients are not listed - only that they are "vegetable based").

Anyone have a good, easy soap paint recipe? I've tried a few on my own, but they don't dry correctly.

I mix micas with glycerin, which is what most vendors use.
