I would like to try a rootbeer color too, please, if it's no trouble
Slightly different finnishes using diferent media
Most yellows and whites don't coat well unless mixed with a little of something else

I add the powder together inthe bowl with the BB's , toss in the boolits (at least 12) then swirl to where the adhesion is good.
Often, blending powders, the more you use the mix the more it changes. IF you want repeatability us smaller quantities of powder and add between each batch of boolits
agree with above. As I PC the color will slightly change during the next batches.

I also found that if you have a powder that doesn't cover great mixing it with another powder sometimes helps. I did this with some green and red because the green never turned out great coverage wise. it worked covered and is super strong but..... I call it Mudbutt if that explains the color I ended up with.
"Yes or no will almost always suffice as the answer"
Thats my mix. Checked and used some yesterday.
Its not as smooth, (this batch) looks more like a bag a blk Cherries at Grocery. Some redder some blacker. Still pleasing to my eye just not a consistant color.
Its all in the humidity its mixed at. I double bag and remove all excess air from my powders. Then many are in a screw top GLAD container.

Roger that - thanks!
Managed to recover my old account, woohoo!
I got some Eastwood Chrome and Silver Vein delivered yesterday evening - still waiting on black.
CW's right, a teaspoon of this and a teaspoon of that with 1/2 or 1/4 teaspon of another can do amazing things or fail bigtime.
Some powder flat refuse to play with others like SHERWIN WILLIAMS SILVER METALIC (nice with metalic flakes but it Doesn't blend well with other powders)
a little PC goes a long way
**note** don't try to swirl less that 12 boolits at a time, you need the volume to build static
