Just wondering what is the best way to mix TD. Now that I started adding it to my colors it's leaving white smears of little drag marks in the form of little lines on my soap when I cut it. I have the kind you mix in oil plus I need to buy more is the water or oil mixing TD better just wondering down below is a pic of the TD smears.

I use the process described by Lisa (I Dream in Soap) and it works perfectly. Here it is:
Titanium Dioxide Master Batch
Ingredients
Oil soluble Titanium Dioxide
Olive Oil
Plastic container in which you will keep the mixture
Stainless steel bolts or ball bearings
Tare the container in which you will keep your titanium dioxide mixture.
Fill with olive oil to about 1 1/2” below top
Note the weight of the olive oil
1 Tbsp. of olive oil weighs 15g
Divide the weight of the olive oil by 15. This will give you the number of Tbsp. in container.
1 tsp. of titanium dioxide to 1 Tbsp. of olive oil (so if you have 14 Tbsp. olive oil in your container, you will add 14 tsp. of titanium dioxide to the container).
Using a Nutribullet, mix the oil and TD together. Blend for about 20 seconds.
Pour into your container with bolts (ball bearings)
Shake before each use.
