Newbie question: How do you get the colors ready? do you use alcohol and mix the mica with it? or take a little of your MP and once melted mix with it in a little cup? And is it the same process if you use powdered Mica or blocks? Thanks!!
 
I pre-mix all of my micas in glycerin so I can use them with any soap
 
Yes, you can save it - I have bottles that are over a year old. Each vendor has different recommendations. Also, lighter colors for me need to require more colorant. I use 4 oz Wilton bottles; I use a heavy tsp of mica per bottle. I find I have to add more to the light yellows and golds.
