    Now only if I can replicate this as it was a little this and a little that lol.

    I admire you guys that can come up with your colors. I spent an hour or so and wasted some plastic trying to get this one. I took notes but only time will see if I can replicate both colors. Have a great day and thanks for looking.

    Yep I waisted lots, till I calmed down! So excited about what I was making it ....well I burned up a lot of plastisol. When you add lots of glitter, a few reheats and its toast, I don't care how much stabilizer you use. Just enjoy what your doing remember to be safe don't get in a hurry and don't get burned like I did! Your not ever going to get the money back even if you sell a few to friends I do from time to time to pay for plastisol but it's just for me, this season the best day on the water....every fish that came in my boat....was all on my hand poured heads and soft plastics or hand ties, I never used a store bought anything but line...pretty stoked about that!

    They look great!!! I like the top one as I have some similar to the second color.

    I don't pour plastics but this Rule of thumb applies just as it does with mixing up colors using powder paint - Write it down!! as you're doing it. I have a mixed powder that I love the mix and I can't remember how I mixed it up and I dont' have much left!!LOL

    You are doing a fine job just go easy on the 2X it goes a long ways it only takes a drop to mix up 4 ounces of plastic remember the thicker the plastic the darker it will look to you so that's why I take it real easy with the 2X.

    I did at one time have about 200 colors from another company and some oddball ones I threw everything in the garbage now we only use 2X thought saying that the others are bad time saying that the 2X will gold twice as far for your money one of the ones that we use a lot chartreuse we order it and big bottles and usually order to add a time because we go through a ton of it in a hurry.

    I still waste lot of plastic. If you're adventuresome with colors, it's just a fact of life. Actually I do call it wasted, I refer to it as a color that needs some adjustment later on.

    That candy apple looks sweet.
