i think it's a very good idea to first try this with only a small
amount of indigo, because my precious stuff got spoiled completey - i
was too impatient to test a sample first, my fault ;)

uh, i hadn't actually thought about the problem that gelling a henna
mixed with indigo might be. I hadn't included indigo in my first henna
mix (which i usually do). Somehow i forgot, or didn't find it
necessary, as i wanted to indigo afterwards anyway. I'd be very
interested in hearing about your test results! Somehow - in the same
line as Debras posting - i suspect there might not be a problem at
all, as the indigo sort of seems to get absorbed by the henna or
something. I'm no chemist, sorry...
