Step 6. You may starts filling the pan with 3/4 full of pigment but not fills up the pan with pigment, add more gradually after alcohol is mixed, this is to prevent overflown of the pigment while stirring. Add about 10-15 drops of rubbing alcohol using vasine bottle, only adds enough alcohol to let the pigment soaked in the alcohol.

**TIP**

If you are using the whole amount of pigment in the sample jar,

to prevent the wastage of pigment, try to drip few drops of alcohol in the sample jar, mix them through and

pours the mixture to the pan instead of throw the jar away, sometime there have

a decent amount of residue inside the jar that are enough for few application.

Part III: PRESSING PIGMET
