I don't think that it is allowed to sell pressed MAC Pigments

They were more than 1/4 samples, like 1 1/2 teaspoon

Yaaaaaaaay for Pigments. They are my very favourite Product, so versatile and so colourful
Have you asked in a Pharmacy?! If you can't get Alcohol there, maybe you can order it online or you can use ez-preztrade-pressing-medium.cfm from Coastal Scents. Hope this helps

Thank you, Nora

We have these "silly laws" here, so I can't get anything stronger than 60% pure alcohol, not even in a Pharmacy. I can get other types of alcohol, like isopropyl alcohol or isopropanol, which but I'm not sure if I can use that for pressing pigments?
If anyone can help me answer that, I'd be very grateful.

I found the best tool to dose the right amount of alcohol in the metal pan is an injection. So I can get the alcohol out of the glass jar and dose it like I want to.

These look so good...I really want to press some of my pigments but I'm nervous they will crumble into pieces when traveling!

Try it. I don't know if they'll crumble. You have to be very careful I think, but you have to be very careful with normal 15 pan Palettes as well

Do you guys think the 1/4 samples will be enough to fill a pan?
