are the colors super concentrated? how much to get decent colors for a batch of play dough?

They are super concentrated. I use it for fondant therefore I can't say if you'd use the same amount for play dough. I'll tell you this.....for my fondant I use two-three drops to get the desired color I want per 1lb of fondant as opposed to Wilton's colors where I use half the container for 1lb of fondant. Hope that helps a little.

The colors are very concentrated, but I don't know how much you'd need for playdough. I've only ever used them for frosting. I always start with a little and then add more until it's the color I want.

Hi Maureen. The colors are very vibrant. I don't make play dough, though. I use these colors to color fondant for cake decorating. Works GREAT for that.

We made 4 adult and 4 kid shirts plus a pair of sneakers and still had dye left over. It depends on how crazy everyone gets. Have everyone decide on what design and colors they want to use beforehand. We also used some cooking grates (bought at the dollar store) over rectangular bins. Choose a color and have everyone who wants to use that color to do so with their t-shirt on the grate over the bin and collect the spill over dye back into the squeeze bottle with a funnel. Rinse grate and bins and repeat with another color. Sounds a bit overkill, but it will guarantee not running out of dye. The dye is indeed professional as my T hasn't faded one bit one year later.

Not really. Though I haven't used this product yet, all the instructions give are these 'hints': Blue+Red=Purple; Red+Yellow=Orange; Blue+Yellow=Green. But this is basic color theory that you can find on-line or in any elementary painting book (e.g. watercolor). Blue, Red and Yellow are the 'primary' colors; purple, orange and green 'secondary' (derived from the primaries). If you mix all 3 primaries you will be introducing black and brown hues and this will dull or 'muddy' your resulting color, but you can use unequal amounts of any two. Black and brown are also in the kit for a total of 5 hues. (Just FYI: actual color products are not 100% the pure theoretical primaries; e.g. maybe the blue is slightly greenish (implying a small amount of yellow) so if you mix this blue with a red, you will have all three primaries present -- to a small extent-- creating a duller purple than you would hope. Again, I have no experience to date with mixing the packets in this kit.) Good luck.

I would suggest allowing it to get super dried out and try to remove as much as you can with a stiff paint brush or other stiff brush - not wire. Dough needs to be on the dry side with the inside heavily flour dusted prior to placing your dough in the banneton.

I got one white, 5 shades of yellow including an actual gold pencil, 2 orangey colors (two of the yellows are bordering on orange), 3 shades of pink, 5 reds, 5 purple, 5 blue, 8 greens, 1 teal, 1 aquamarine, 6 browns, 1 peachy- tan, 1 black and 1 silver. That is just a generalization of the colors. Over all I think it's a good set cause the color spectrum varies between yellow and orange and pink and red...etc. it's hard to tell where one color stops and another one starts. That's a good sign to me cause there are lots of "in between" choices.

I'm glad I got this. I have tried to dry mine twice in the oven for a total of roughly 8 hours. Only a few beads turn yellow and the rest are more of a greenish purple. I can't recommend from what I have seen so far.

You get different colors but it is barely enough,each jar is 1/4 filled if that

I'm sure it must contain some kind of artificial coloring, like food coloring, to give each container a different color. The package does not indicate the ingredients though. The set comes with a variety of colors, each with a different "hardness" to the putty.

It comes with 3 different colors, it is pretty thick paint, but you could probably use about any kind that is not too thin as it will spread very easily. Make sure you keep the squeeze bottles that some with it to refill.

It does if you use it in a buttercream frosting. You have to use a lot if you are coloring something else, like homemade play dough.

The inktense hues are too bright, there are no flesh tones per say. But if you water it down a lot, I bet you could create some by mixing the colors provided but they are really bright.

I've found that they dry pretty fast, almost instantly. It also depends on the type of paper you use. I haven't try mixing colours yet :-)

I assume so, since they are edible colors. The color agent is thicker than supermarket colors and only a very small amount does produce very vivid color.

Well, moon dough is more like a play doh texture, while moon sand is more like a moist soft sand. The first time I touched it, I thought of pencil's eraser powder =). It's a nice texture to play with, and the best of all... no mess! =)

Sorry I can't help with that. They have several different colors to choose from. I would ask at the paint store if they can mix whatever you want. Must likely they can

I found the paper kind of hard to peel, especially on certain colors. They melted well, I broke them up and put them in silicone molds at about 250 for 10 minutes, just keep an eye on them.
