Black & Blue
« on: 04/14/11 10:33 UTC »
Does anyone have a good black with blue glitter receipe they would be willing to share?  I've done several and have yet to find one I'm pleased with, tired of wasting plastic.

Thanks,

Brad

Brad.... I have found the key to using blue flake in black is going light on the black colorant. Wish I had my recipe book with me. I think you are looking for a dark smoke really and that will let the blue shine through.

Lite on the black for sure! Spent a lot of time when I first started pouring more and more blue flake into plastic that had too much black in it and wondering where it all went.
