<p> i dont know if it is possible to add too much meera, i just add enough to get to the color tint i needed. I suppose from now on if i need a lavendar color Satin ice would be the way to go because if i make it my self have been told that lavendar will turn when it comes in contact with the lights. thnx for replying</p>
