Thread: Color Fading

Make sure you don’t get the plastic too hot after I used the same bad Shab about 2 to 3 times it will start to darken in the pirates cup. I usually throw it out, but if you get it too hot, it will turn dark on you, you should keep the temperature around 350.

I'm going to do a little better on my control and see if that helps. Thank s Bob.

No help here i'm a liquid colorant guy with the exception of hi lite powders but what Bob says makes sense.

I am using powder that Bob sent me so it is likely a heat problem.

The powder I used is the same powder that they use and making soap should say coloring the soap been using it for five or six years now I don’t have a problem with it long as you don’t get too hot and most colors that are on the market after a few times will darken on you. I don’t care who it is, but I believe the same powder that you buy from the other guys that supply that for making plastics is the same type of powder, I think I accidentally mention that so they probably found out a few suppliers and did it their sales .
