attempting "dirty white"....again
« on: 08/15/12 12:00 UTC »
color not there yet.  took a few drops of white, added a bit of pumpkin pepper...and a small bit of black.  Any ideas?? would glitter help??  I know some said add pearl, but would that make it dirty?   I'm looking for a dirty white shrimp..even a bit transparent.maybe cloudy.

also sand color...know it involves copper/gold/black glitter...but what colors would u suggest w/that??  thanks

May sound silly, but you could add a little dirt.  Just make sure it's dry and fine.

Sure dirt.  A lot of pigments are based off organic / inert materials.  It shouldn't be any worse than salt.  I haven't tried it, sounded like a good idea, and you could share the results.   ;D

It's hard to picture what your looking for without a sample to look at but here is an idea...

Add a drop of Pumpkinseed to your white.

You would have to be making at least 8oz's if your using the X2, that stuff is SUPER potent.

Just a thought.

pumpkin seed is a good place to start.

X2 is potent...heck, I even tan with it, mix a little worm oil, pumpkin seed and brown (for darker tan)...and use the heat stabiliz  er when it get over 97, 98 degrees!!!        8)

Dirt WILL have moisture... Beware of popping and splattering of hot plastic. May want to sift is as well prior to heating in mic. Might have metal or objects not proper for microwave.

There are a few reasons I haven't went to the X2...  Mainly, I'd have to rethink/rework all my recipes.  Many have ONE DROP of a color added, and I have no way of splitting a drop into halves, surely not consistently, batch to batch.  If it was "hard and fast fact" that X2 was 2-times standard, I could just use twice as much plastic to get the same ratio, but from recent posts, it doesn't seem like it's flat-out double-strength.  While X2 is truly killer, standard colorant per-drop is less color, so each drop means less color change, which, to me, means precision, especially in smaller mixes.  Considering what I see in people (myself included), most fisherman don't want to settle for "close" to a color, they (we) seem to want THAT color that they caught on.  This is just my thinking and reasoning, and why I truly hope Jason-and-Family continue to carry the non-X2 colorant.  I don't really want to have to buy from anyone but my Bro...I'm not sure if "the other guys" are God's Children.
