Does anyone have a recipe for the orange color of firetiger made with CCM colorants? I'm placing an order and trying to figure out what I would need.

Just get the X2 in fluorescent orange. I'd suggest 4 ounce batches and start with three drops for a transparent orange. If you want something more opaque just do a mini batch with about an ounce of plastic and five or six drops of the X2. When its cooked add it to the 4 ounce batch and reheat and blend together.

You can add glitter or hi lites or whatever after you settle on the basic color.

I'm thinking about making a 3 color wutzit that replicates a color I've always loved called hot steel.

Hurry up and make Hot Steel so you can send me the recipe!!!! I have been waiting to do that color for 3 months now. Just keep getting interrupted!

The repala color was my plan exactly. I used to fish the f5-F7 hot steel floater like crazy!

I already thought it out and think my formula would be exact I just have to wait for colorant and I suck at hand pouring so we will see how level that belly looks

So much for a challenge!

It looks awesome to me!

That's exactly what I pictured but just a little more of a dark blueish silver on top. Looks amazing though! I'll have to try it out and see how steady I can get my hand to do that bottom. As far as hand pouring what is the easiest to pour out of. These high heat silicon measuring cups are not it lol.

Sometimes you know a color pattern is going to be hot. That one is number one. Good for bass, walleye and crappie and perch! Thanks for the pattern. Im sure a lot of guys will be pouring that this week!

On the Swim Shads, Croakers, Toads, etc. they are super easy to just pour out of the Pyrex. You can also put the plastic in an injector and pour it from the injector so you can rest the tip on the mold (if you have a shaky hand).

I couldn't agree more. On this color I've caught walleye muskie bass of all kinds and even a small gar on this specific color in differnt sizes.

This forum is a heck of a sales tool. Everytime I come on here I'm adding to cart for the next order. I wonder how long I can get away with filling up a work bench and peg board wall in the basement before my girlfriend realizes how much this stuff costs lol. Then she would be able to justify more shoes and purses!
