User talk:Twilson r/sandbox

Hi Twilson, well done on the new article, an interesting topic - and delighted to see you developed it in the sandbox too.

Thanks, SeoR (talk) 21:00, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

>>> 煮色 着色 (ni-iro chaku-shoku) Boiling colour colouring? (seems OTT, but used in some literature)

& 煮上げ (niage) This term seems to be popular in the USA, also refers to boiling

Simpler and more predictable

Both O'Dubhghaill and Kawasaki have been working on approaches to make the process more standardised and simpler, and in studying, I observed the following formulae for niiro solutions:
rokusho 11.25 g, copper sulfate 5.63 g, water 1.8l
rokusho 5.63 g, copper sulfate 5.63 g, water 1.8l
rokusho 5.63 g, copper sulfate 5.63 g, borax 0.375 g, water 1.8l
rokusho 3.75 g, copper sulfate 3 g, vinegar 1 cm3, water 1.8l
rokusho 3.75 g, copper sulfate 3 g, alum 1.13 g, water 1.8l
rokusho 3.75 g, copper sulfate 3 g, alum 0.375 g, water 1.8 l Twilson r (talk) 14:36, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
