How to proceed
Test separately first.Then mix a small amount.
First test the kratom and the additional pigment separately on the same paper. Let both tests dry. Only then mix a small amount so you can immediately see how the colour and structure change.
Avoid dust when handling loose pigments and follow the respective manufacturer's product and safety information.
