What blue are you using to get "see through"?

Bears Royal blue. About 3 drops. That blue is strong and You have to stay lite on the color or it darkens up really quick. I went to heavy (10 drops) on my first attempt to get that color. It looked good in the cup but when I did a test shot, it was too dark. I started over and just did 2 drops and it was a little weak so tried 3 and it seemed to be the right amount.

You could probably use Lurecraft's California Blue and get the same effect. It is a strong blue too. Just go lite and use a true shade of blue colorant. Bear's marine blue will not get You that color. It is weaker, takes a lot more colorant, and the shade will never match.CF
