Sorry, I can't answer your questions but would like to add one to it...
I have an acquaintance that used indigo powder, added to the oils at trace it was a beautiful purple but changed to a green blue color when cured. Is this normal? is there anyway to keep the purple color? The only suggestion I had for her was she may need to use some titanium dioxide.

i haven't tried indigo but have tried woad powder, and got a grey-blue color i wasn't crazy about. my understanding of indigo powder is that a little bit goes a very long way, and that it will turn out a shade of denim. will be most curious to hear how it goes!!! and if anyone's had any experience with woad, i would love to hear it!
I used 1/4 t for a 5 lb recipe.
