Hello,

Yellow is one I work with a bit. I have a few not published but Tony's 20=
x5
recipe will work like a charm with praseodymium stain anywhere from 5% to=
8%.
At 5% it is a soft buttery yellow and much more vivid at the higher range=
=2E It
is compatable with the base above as well. (Glossy)

When I get my labs reports back I will have an additional yellow to send =
out
to those interested in giving it a personal test. (I use MATRIX software =
so
let me know and I will work with you on any tests)

I replaced the Custer with G-200 Potash Spar simply because custer wasn't=
in
my hands at the time. Works like a charm! Credit is given to Tony Hanson=
for
the 20x5 recipe. Its a good one for those wishing to play with a nice glo=
ssy
and especially with stains of various colors. It would be interesting if=

someone took the Rosenrot base and praseodymium and see if it made a semi=

matte yellow at ^6. If no one has that chance in the near future maybe I =
can
get around to it. I wrote the base for testing anyways.

Usual precautions should be excercised and lab work where food service is=

involved. Lab references available on request. =

Susan et al,

You can find Tony's 5X5 recipe, along with many other useful things, at the
educational section of http://www.digitalfire.com . I would just give you
the recipe, but you really should not miss this site. There's also a great
article on Terra Sig there, contributed by Vince Pitelka.
