	I hope you've found this guide helpful and have gotten many great recipes to help yourself, your friends, and all of Egypt. Remember, everyone has different recipes, so the more people work out their own reactions, the better selection we have for making paints.

 Creating your painting recipes is a lengthy and detailed process, but since the recipes which work are tied to your character name, the recipes you develop now can be reused each and every tale (unless Teppy decides to mess with us all).  Additionally, every avatar has different recipes, so you may be able to make paints your friends can't.  Even if you can both make the paint, you might be able to make it with less costly materials.
 This guide is designed to walk you through the steps of working out your recipes.  First, I discuss the mechanics of the painting system.  Second, I show of how to get your reaction values using the Paint Watch .lua script which can be found in Veggie Tales.  Third, I explain how to work PracticalPaint to use those reaction values to build your recipes.  Lastly, I offer some advice on tweaking your recipes to get them working correctly.

 Watch the RGB color bars in your client and be prepared to make several substitutions like as you work through your reactions.  I recommend going back to double check your numbers using a different method if you do something complicated.  Getting the right reaction values (or at least as close as you can since the results of PW are only estimates) is critical for getting working recipes.
-Of special note in this case is the reaction for '''Sulfur and Potash'''.  No value will show for this reaction until you add at least one base ingredient.  I recommend Cabbage Juice for this since it does not have a Green reaction with either ingredient.
+Of special note in this case is the reaction for '''Sulfur and Potash'''.  No value will show for this reaction until you add at least one base ingredient.  I recommend Cabbage Juice for this since it does not have a Green reaction with either ingredient.  Hence to test for the C:Su->C:Po and C:Po->C:Su reactions, what you'll want to actually add to the mixer is CJ->C:Su->C:Po and CJ->C:Po->C:Su.  In both cases you'll also see the CJ->C:Po Blue reaction, but you'll want to ignore that and focus just on the Green reaction value.
 You're off to a great start.  Now that you've got the reaction values, you can work out a lot of recipes yourself using trial and error.  However, there's literally infinite possible combinations of quantities and orders you can work through, and thousands of plausible ones.  Sure you could to that all by hand, but for brute force calculations, that's what computers are for . . .

	However, any given pair of ingredients will only react once. So in the example above, if you were to later add one more Red Sand, you would not get the CJ->RS reaction since that pair of ingredients has already had a reaction.
