Tina this is a great idea. I think I may also create samples of various art applications. Question. Should we be using distilled water when we add water to other products and use drinking water for cleaning brushes and surfaces?
This is a valid question. Thank you! 😊 First: I'm not a scientist. All my thoughts are based on what I've learned at school or life has taught me the hard way. 😉 I'm using destilled / pure water to add to products when not using up immediately, because destilled water only contains H²O and therefore can't go bad on it's own. But I always make sure the product itself can be diluted with water by design. For immediate use I sometimes use tap water, but only if I already know the ingredients won't react with the ions in the water. Requires a bit of testing. 😉 Using tap water also depends on where you live. In Germany all tap water is drinking water. The minerals contained in the water vary from community to community. I've lived in a region where the water contained lots of calcium, so I couldn't clean my brushes with natural brush soap. It was impossible to get all the soap residue off without rinsing the brushes with lemon or vinegar. Bad idea. 😅 So yes, this is a very complex topic. Again thanks for the question. You made my day! 🥰
thank you for teaching me something new.
You're very welcome, sister. 💜💕💜 We're all here at the YT Academy to learn from each other. 😊
