Hello - I used the lowest temperature since the empty pans are made of plastic. You can also allow the paint to air dry, but it takes much longer. Best of luck with your paint!
@@NicoleNataleAtelier thank you for taking the time to respond. That was very kind of you. Further researching it does seem like drying it in dehydrator may cause it to crack. Thank you for sharing your wisdom base.
I didn't have any issue with this, but you do need to refill the pans several times. I think much depends on temperature and humidity in your home as well. It is fun to experiment. :) @@Walua
Making so little is rather unwise. If you put too much of either pigment or binder in, which can happen easily, you immediately land beyond the intended amount. And not every pigment is the same. Iron oxides for example take up a lot of space without weighing a lot, so it is not a very dense pigment. There are others who are extrememy dense in comparison though. So making only one pan can be quite challenging. I would recommend amounts of perhaps 3-5 pans. Or you fill one up and mix the rest of the remaining color with a different one. (For example you make a blue color first, fill one pan and then mix some red into the remaining color which makes a kind of violet, which you then fill into a pan)

What temperature do you set you dehydrator ? Thank you for your video.

How much pigment would you use to make 1 pan?
Two table spoons fills several full pans. I would suggest starting with 1 teaspoon.

Can you share the recipe of the binder ?
Hi Adrian - Thanks for watching my videos! I will be posting a video about how I make my binder soon. 😁
@@NicoleNataleAtelier thank u! Hugs from Mexico ♥️
Recipe please!
