HAVE AT IT, AND HAVE FUN Thumbs Up

... cp

I am in timeout, good luck fellas

mulberry, lol ok I will see what I can do with that oneDoh

okay guys we went out and made a Mulberry with electric lime please note that picture does not do the lime any justice it is a little bit brighter and more florescent in person if you can hold in your hand it would look much better but let me know what you guys think.

perhaps the lime should have been a little bit more chartreuse but we kind of made a lime that you are familiar with so I screwed up maybe but we definitely could match it but anyway let me know what you guys think.

Holy Cow! That sure is dang pretty!!!! Love the color of the tail.

snake, i like it, send me your recipe for the lime color, what colors and how many drops per oz. I normally cook 4 ounces at a time. I need a good recipe for a color like that.

well here is my version of the colors, I added a little blue flake to spice it up to my liking. But the combo looks pretty good, these will go in my box to try out.

your chartreuse or electric lime is very close add some white to it Keith to get that shade your top color that you used is too much pink try using purple plum purple is what I used by adding white you did a fantastic job I definitely like what you did this is a good one very bright and unique because of the combination that you used you should keep this one in your books.

we definitely have fun with this one I will tell you the formulas it's no big deal we use plum purple and we added white to get what I want for the electric lime I screwed up I should only use chartreuse and added white but I added a little bit of florescent green which made it to dark but if you use white we chartreuse you will get that father also with the Mulberry by adding white to purple or plum purple you will get what you want Mulberry by adding white too many colors you will get many different shades by just adding and subtracting and adding some more you can come up with thousands a different shades of each color also you guys by using Perl white you will get some beautiful outstanding combinations by adding colors we've been doing this for a long time but we have never posted too many by using a dual injector and blending many of these combinations are fantastic we do not have a good dual injector we will get to Bass Pro to order one is the one I want we have been shooting half of the mold and turning it back into shoot the second such as baby Shad stingers all molds you can turn and shoot half you really don't need a dual injector to do that this way it's on the same principle is using a plate I hope you understand what I'm trying to say make sure if you use the backside of your mold to clean it with acetone to take Greece an oil off. We do not have a formula we just added subtract until I get what I want seeker.

looks good Bob, when I looked up the color on one computer it looked one way then when I looked at it in the shop on the laptop it looked different. I think I got close but cant tell with out having the crayons in my hand.
