Jason,  Im looking for a Transparent Flouresent Pink that is very bright but transparent.  I have some flouresent colors from MF that are transparent (fl orange, fl Red) but cant find any in Pink anywhere.  Any ideas?  Preferably non bleed, but dont matter.  Thanks

I got mine from Jason. You really need to mix this color and be prepared to count drops....like in the range of 100 to a six ounce batch.

The pink shown in the upper right hand corner of this picture is one developed using a Caney Creek transparent fluorescent Hot Pink colorant, no bleed.



I like just a hair or blue glitter in it and a touch of blue hi lites to get some internal character to the color. This one is at 90 drops to 3/4 cup of plastic and is much brighter than shown because of the sunlight going thru the plastic and reflected back thru because of the metal the plastics sit on. If I want this color to act as a fire-tail type of color I add 2 drops of transparent strawberry color, leave all of the blue additions out and finish with a pinch of red hi lite to intensify the pink and it works supe good, but I don't have a pic on file of that color.

All of these colors are Caney colorants and the pthalate-free plastic and glitters.

I have found CCM's Fluoro Pink to be very transparent.  Non bleed is also nice.  Add rates are high on any transparent Fluoro color to get a "vibrant" color.
