Instructions

Copper oxide version shown on top right mug.

It’s best to mix all the ingredients together dry, then add water; otherwise, all the CMC gum will clump together. Note: If adding rutile for gold crystals, drop the titanium dioxide content to 2%. Add 1% lithium carbonate increments if it over-crystallizes.
