Well, nothing went to plan this batch. It was my first time using glycerin to mix colors instead of oil. I mixed it up 1:1 with mica, but it looked stiff and like it wouldn't mix, so I added more glycerin until it was 2:1 glycerin to mica. I hand-stirred, but it wouldn't incorporate well, so I hit it with a stick blender a couple quick times, and it seemed fine.
Then it started setting up and I noticed spots forming, and when I cut it, there were what look like big pockets of glycerin (see first pic below).
Second problem: as I was cleaning up, I noticed I had grabbed the wrong bottle and accidentally used HO canola oil instead of olive! Ahhh! Worse, some of the spots in the green are kind of an orangey-brownish color; so I'm worried it's DOS because of the canola. (see second pic) Would they appear within 24 hours? And what did I do wrong with the glycerin?
