color question
« on: 09/22/13 18:07 UTC »
Im trying to make black & pink or black & chartreuse small Frys but I can't get the pink or chartreuse to be dark enough. Do I just keep adding color or what?

Who's colorant are you using and how large of a batch are you attempting? MF, Bears, Lurecraft....those company's colorants call for about 80 drops in 4 ounces. The X2 that DoIt sells needs about 15 drops to 4 ounces of plastic.

If you are using florescent colors they have to be added before heating.

One problem could be that with any 2x or high concentrated color its hard to control the color on a small batch of color. When I use 2x I mix a cup at a time. Its hard to turn down or up color when it maxes out the level of color a batch of plastic can hold.
