It's all clear after its heated. If you want it white you need to add white colorant.

Not clear on the question but I think MJ got it covered.

Please correct me, but clear Plastisol will yield a more translucent look of the bait?
If translucent doesn't matter, use white. Or add some white to the translucent until desired color.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

Not sure I understand the question either. All the plastisol that I’ve seen starts out white. While heating it at short intervals in a microwave it begins to turn clear . At 350° it will will be crystal clear assuming no colorant has been added. If your going for a semi transparent white you can add a drop or two of white prior to heating, stir it in good, and heat.

Once the plastisol is at 350 and is clear and thin as water you add colorant to make the bait transparent or solid less colorant = transparent more colorant = solid

Yes clear plastic (which is what all plasticol starts out as until you put colorant in it) will yield a translucent bait. If you want a more opaque color add a little white. I'm not sure if you are thinking some plastisol is white and some is clear? It all looks white in the raw form and it all turns clear after its heated to 350 degrees. Any color including white needs to be added to the clear plastisol to get the desired color.
