Help on powder pink please

[mixednut]

Hello I have been using this color for a little while, I was wanting a pink but I do like the marble, I was just wondering if this suppose to happen all the time? I would love to get a nice pink (moretti BTW) and all I get is this marbled affect.

I don't have really good luck with it, but you might get more help further down the page in the tips and techniques section.

Maybe find a moderator and ask them to move it?

Powder pink will get to a coral color when reintroduced to the flame. The marble effect comes with how it reacts to the cold and heat. It can be difficult to get a solid coral color. Once it cools down, touch it to the outside of the flame until it gets the coral color.
Have fun! (I actually like the marbly color!)

I've tested this color a lot lately and played around with it to see how it reacts. The best way to get it to become the initial color again is to work it to the form you need and then take it way up at the tip of the flame and let it simmer a little there until it gets it's color back. It can be long but at least it will get back to what it was. If anyone else has a magical touch to this color please feel free to give us the recipe for success!

Excellent info. I use powder pink for crab claws I learned from Nancy Lawler (nancylawler.com) but, but I never knew how or why it went back to it's original color.
