Title: Salt Question
Post by: bassmasters40701 on 02/03/12 09:43 UTC

Why is my salt putting out a mysterious light green color when I warm it up...Am i getting the salt to hot? Should I put salt in after I get my plastic to 350?

On a side note, while pouring a clear bait, the light green color that it produces makes a good looking bait.  ;D

Thanks for the help.

Did you measure it with a silver spoon?? (from a garage sale...or Goodwill?). Make sure you use plastic or stainless steel for measuring, stirring etc.

Somehow something else got mixed in...probably in storage....So...if you keep you salt in an old container you used to keep old lead in....

Faint Green: Antimony or Antimony mixed with lead or tin (bullets, sinkers etc)

Blue-Green: Phosphates (old soap, laundry detergent, lawn or garden fertilizer)
Yellow-Green: Barium, manganese(II), molybdenum.

Emerald: Copper compounds, other than halides. Thallium.
Bright Green: Boron

Most likely reason:  onyonlyx  :P

Thank you for the information. I will be more careful on how I measure it out.

From the color description, onyonlyx could be the only culprit.

Don't get too much of that onyonlyx on you.  Sometimes using double gloves helps.
