Since getting the gold hi-lite, I've grown pretty fond of using it in a huge range of colors because it makes things look more realistic and natural to me. Well, I just got a presto pot to try playing around with and decided to whip up a big batch of a color I use for my 1.75' small fry. I'm used to using only 4-8oz of plastic at a time so when i moved up to 4 cups in the presto I got the gold hi-lite all wrong and added too much. Not the color I was shooting for, but it is going to make the new recipe book. Like in the picture, I think it'll be a decent craw or stick bait color. Let me know what you think.

This recipe, or mess up was:
4 cups plastic
60 drops Bears black colorant
1/8 tsp 0.008 fire red glitter
1/8 tsp 0.015 green glitter
1/16 tsp 0.04 silver glitter
1/16 tsp 0.015 orange glitter
around 1/16 tsp gold hi-lite (have to figure out what I did wrong here)
and around 3 match heads of UV blast powder

Shoot that color over the top of some pearl white or a nice clean black for some contrast, I'd fish it.

I'm a fan. Might be a new shrimp color for my arsenal. I love when mistakes turn out to be awesome

Ay, that's 60 drops of ANY Black on the market...it needs to be stirred and THEN shaken. Just my $0.02.

im just using it until I get the x2. If you think about it, that's not even 2 drops an ounce.
I like the pearl bottom thought. I'll post one tomorrow
