Nice! Who makes FL grape and tiger gold colors? 75 drops sure is a lot of colorant in 8 oz.

I like it, Bro! I've worked-up an LSU-themed color, myself...among others.
No sweat on the venting...there are things that get under my fingernails, too. I always ask for Forgiveness when I rant, and TRY to remember (and ask for Help) to use it as a learning/growing experience. Mr. "A" may have been going through something when You were dealing with him...maybe he doesn't know God...maybe God was On him, chastising and disciplining him (that can give a man a sour attitude sometimes)...we never know, but I truly understand. Sore subjects can test our very fibers!!! I've got several...::)

Thanks Gary- I needed to hear that! Thanks for "holding me up!"

Praise God, my Bro! Anytime!

Here is a way to find out drop size. I use a heavy guage sewing needle to poke my hole in the yorker tops. It takes 19 - 21 drops for me to level fill a 1/8 Tsp. measure. If all of you will; next time you are making colors; you can see how many drops it takes to level fill a 1/8 tsp measure ( or 1/16 tsp. for that matter ).

The only problem I have with using a spoon to put colorant in plastic is, getting all the colorant off the spoon, and I usually add mine after the plastic cooks. I just recently made 2 cups worth of plastic and had to count out 200 drops! I broke it down into 4 sets of 50, but still. Any colorant left on the spoon and I feel like I'm wasting it.
BTW Super cool colors, very cool......Hook'em Horns!! ;D LOL!

Sweet color!

Kipbass - After you make your first heating "set" and get some congealed skim on the side of the cup; roll some off with your stirring device and massage it around on the colorant left on the spoon. Works well for glitter as well. Just drop it in the cup with your other remelt material when you go through a remelt cycle.

I modified the above post to remove the other companies name. I hope I don't offend anyone by doing so. I agree with wanting to provide a buyer beware heads up, I'm just not sure how to do it without calling someone out publicly.
Since starting CCM I have definitely been attacked and lied about by more than one company or individual. It get's under my skin in a big way, but I do my best to let it go. Diane and I always say God is our CEO and he is way bigger than anything this world can throw at us. I just got back from a Men's breakfast at Church so I could really get going, but I won't. I'll leave you with wisdom only He can provide...
Matthew 5:42-48
43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor[a] and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47 And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
Nice little standard for us to all try and live up to!
God Bless,
Jason

Jason...without trying to sound too corny, it's an honor to business with you.

"A man is best judged by who are his enemies, not who are his friends". An old, unfortunately true assessment in many cases. You can not control what another says, past a point. If you dwell on it, then they have gained advantage.

Well said, and I should have trusted that inner voice before I posted that, so I just deleted it. Ah wouldn't it be interesting if we could have one day without sin. Welp, thankfully it won't be just one day but eternity. Come Lord Jesus, come.
Here's my public apology, not for the experiences I had but for mentioning publicly. That's not me usually. Sorry gang.

It's what makes the walk worth walking. If it was all down hill what would be the sense. Kind of like fishing... If it was always catching, would we do it? Speaking of fishing... I'll post it in the other forum!
