I recently started adding more sugar to my mix also. It seems to
help. I usually end up sealing it though. Old habits. What a great
color. I just love the terped effects. That is a priceless
discovery.

: : Yup, the design just plain bled, and I was not thrilled.
: : When I applied the goop thin, it dragged bits of henna out of
: place.
: : So I applied the goop thick and blew dry as fast as I could. Last
: time
: : I did mask, I didn't have a blow dryer at hand, and totally lost
: the
: : design. Creamsicle massacre.
: :
: : The next day, on the back of my arm, I NS'd before I gooped, and
: : didn't loose a shred! No bleeding, no displacement. I blew dry
: just
: : to make sure. The resulting NS/goop combination sealer should
be
: : patented as a substitute for kevlar! That stain is progressing
: : beautifuly, but DAMN it was stuck down solid!
: :
: : I'm looking (still) for a perfect sealer .... indestructible,
: : flexible, not stinky, immaculate detail preservation, looks
: : acceptable. Got 4 out of 6 on the NS/goop combination. Goop
alone
: : was 2 out of 6

: I recently started adding more sugar to my mix than I was before
: and this batch and my last I haven't had to put any sealer on. I
: just allow it to to dry for at least an hour and I can sleep all
: night with my design on and in the morning I just peel off the
: paste. I did my husband's foot last night and this morning there
: wasn't even a bit of flaking or peeling. The whole design looked
as
: if I had just put it on. All I use is lime juice, CA henna, sugar
: and TT.
