Post by: Lamar on 12/13/22 07:36 UTC
  Made some morning dawn in the 6" El Gusano. I like how it turned out.

  This is how they looks when you add light to them. I used light shifting colors. My thinking is this is a worm I can use early morning and as the sun comes up it will turn lighter the brighter it gets outside.

That's a cool color Lamar.

If you want to play with a really crazy color shifting color, try chameleon.

  I've seen that one but don't have it yet. I like how it looks.

Gotta be careful using the color because its a bleeder, but it makes a color like a natural worm in your hand. Put it in water and it changes to a purplish color.

  I wish Do-it would make a few changeable colors. I'm not use to counting 45 drops per cup. And I won't use a color that bleeds. It's to big of a pain.

Most of the changeable color use, in part, dyes, not actual pigments, and that's where the bleeding arises. Have quite a few changeable colors but use them stand-lone and package them that way too. They can be challenging.

Lamar those look good. I like my essential series mold really good too & can make some pretty nice colors with them.

  I like them too but this is the CNC version. I bought it when they first came out.

Yep i knew it was the cnc version. Either way it's a great little worm.

  The funny part about this is I made them with a dual injector and after posting the picture I was thinking the lines would be cleaner if they made a laminate plate for it. And I thought for a $140 mold one would think they would so I looked it up and they do. Knowing me I thought you tight wad you didn't even buy the plate with the mold ? So I went through all my stuff and I found one. I guess I did buy it. That goes to show I have way to much.
