I've read and taken loads of advice on the FRB from this site and it's been great, I'm getting there but there are still 2 things which prevent me from making my rebalances look like a new set after the 4th or 5th rebalance.
  1. How much product should be applied in zone 2? My zone 2 gets to resemble the Swiss Alps.
  2. When the original pink has grown out to the distal end (hope that's the right description) of zone 1, and I thin out zone 1, I get all sorts of bits of old white and old pink and to feather the white over this isn't an option as it won't cover and I end up creating an unattractive thick tip to cover it.
I hope I have explained myself well enough for some assistance...hopefully I'm not the only one with these problems :cry: and others will be able to get some help from this post too:D

Don't apply any more than you absolutely need to. Remember that zone 2 is pretty well covered on the first place so you should only be making small beads (less than half the size of the original bead you made). What ever amount you are going to add has to be removed before you add it!

You're right of course. Once the original white has completely gorwn out, you do end up with a bit of a mixture. There obviously does come a point, where you do have to take the product right down to the bare minimum and have a fresh start with the white. This needn't be thick, just dense which is why it helps to work a bit drier.

Actually I congratulate you for having clients that get this far with your French Rebalances. Shows you are doing allot more right than you may have thought. Well done!
