Title: Old reader first time question
Post by: Greg G on 04/06/19 13:29 UTC
First of all I would to thank everyone who contributes to this fourm, Plenty of information for the beginner to the old pro.  But at last Im stumped, looking for the Yamamotos Lt Green pumpkin.
Maybe I didnt search deep enough or this recipe never came up.
Any help will do. Thanks

Welcome aboard Greg. I'll dig and see what I can suggest for you. Others will do likewise I am sure.

Greg....you're referring to the color with red flake?

You might try the pumpkin X2 colorant but use way less to start, maybe 3 to 4 drops in 4 ounces or increase the drop count proportionally to the plastic volume. MF makes a chartreuse pumpkin, no.#56, that may be just slightly closer. If you have a pumpkin colorant and its too brown you might try adding a green as long as its not a real bright green and even then just a drop or two to start and see if it goes in a direction the will get you close.

Yes, like pro senko 9P-10-379.  Thank you for your quick response. Ill give your a formula a try.  If not Ill order 2X colorant from MF.

The X2 colorant is a Do-It colorant Greg.

As stated before, this is the perfect forum to learn from the experts.  I was able to match the color.  Thanks again for your help.

I actully used bears green pumpkin with a hint of lime green.  I slowly eased the green pumpkin and shot a few worms until I got 99% match.  Thanks again for your help.
