Introduction To ... Mixing Glass Tattoo® Gue and Creating a Palette of Colors
This blog was created to help you understand how the Glass Tattoo® System works. I have conducted several live demonstrations of the Glass Tattoo® System and every time people are truly amazed by what they see. They find it difficult to believe how easy it really is to make detailed and colorful designs in a matter of minutes.
As with any process there are a few steps that have to be taken at the beginning to set everything up. For the Glass Tattoo® System the first step is to create a pallet of your favorite colors then place them into the applicator squeeze bottles. The wonderful thing is once you have placed the colors into the squeeze bottles it can be safely stored for several months ready for use at any time you like.

I was looking on the website for the amount of glass powder to add to the gue to create the different colors, but could not find that information.
Also, could you use fine Frit instead of powder or do you only recommend powder?
Hi Robert, thanks for your question. The formula for creating colors using our Glass Tattoo Gue is printed on the back of every Glass Tattoo Gue packet. However, to quickly answer your question, once you have the Glass Tattoo Gue mixed and in gel form, the ratio is one part powdered glass to one part Glass Tattoo Gue gel. If you wanted to fill one of our Gue color squeeze bottle-applicators, you would mix 1/3 cup of powdered glass color to 1/3 cup of Glass Tattoo Gue gel.
To answer your question about using fine frit instead of powder. You can mix any size frit with the Glass Tattoo Gue gel and it will work. The only drawback is you cannot use our squeeze bottle-applicators with anything other than powdered because larger size frit will not come through the nozzle, unless you trim the nozzle to make the hole larger. The best way to use the larger size frit is to mix it up in a small bowl with the Glass Tattoo Gue gel, then apply it to your glass (or stencil) using a small spoon or a pallet knife.
