Have tried a few diff. variations with dirty white, my best one yet is 10 drops white 3-5 drops scuppernog and a very small amount of .008 black.

Not sure what you are looking for? Does it look anything like this?

All my white turns out "dirty" when I cook it too many times :(

Not trying to be a smart-allick but cook less when you cook it or stir it every 20 seconds. Another thing is if your using MF plastic, it turns dirty real fast if slightly overheated.

It is basically a opening night that we wanted to add a little body too.
We tried loading it with glitter but did not really like the outcome.

4 oz
3 or 4 drops white (add more if you like but do not kill the Hi-lite)
Pinch of violet Hi-Lite
about a tablespoon of salt (guessing)
Dash of .125 x .0125 silver Holi

This bait comes alive when it hits the water.

Good looking bait.  Bet that will work in salt water as a glass minnow.

Wow brotha, The only thing that comes to mind is allowing it to heat to long before the first stir. Sorry Kat that I can't be more help.

First stir at 2 minutes? Temp gun shows around 300 then I hit it again for another 20 to 30 seconds.
brings it up to around 350. Do I need to stir earlier than that?

How many ounces?  I normally use 4 OZ, cook for 60 sec, stir, heat for 30 sec, stir, heat for 30 sec stir again. I only cook 4OZ for 2 minutes and no longer in the microwave that I use on the initial heat. Remelting sometimes takes longer, but not much. Remember white is a touchy color when heating, the more times you stir and keep the heat of the plastisol equally mixed the better the results.
