Hi Linda,

I am sure that it can be done with a ruler. But I am also sure that it would end up in a mess for me when the ruler is lost in the paint and I have forgot wich proportions to do next.

My tool is for non matematics.

If I fill it up the mixture can easily be contained in a 125 ml tube, and I can make 20 steps in the scale, numbered from 1 to 20, or I can make 10 steps by using 1,3, 5, 7, and so on...

If I fill in 38 ml tubes I can use 8 steps = 36 ml.
Starting with 1 step White + 7 steps Black, 2 steps White + 6 steps Black and so on.

Now I only have to figure out how to get the paint tubed in the inside of the empty tubes. Any suggestions ?

Allan
