I was wondering what everyone's preference was when it comes to colorant liquid or powder especially in pearl. I bought liquid pearl colorant from janns netcraft a while back and it seems to take a lot to get a good pearl look to my plastic. I was considering trying powder pearl from canney creek. But I was wondering if powder was the was to go or not.
I have both liquid and powder from Do-It [former caney creek] and they both get the job done nicely. With the liquid you have a bit more precise control over how much is needed to get what you want.
I do not use liquid i use powder it goes along ways and you need very little like you said the liquid takes quite a bit .
If you use the powder stir it in before you cook the plastic.
You can make your own pearl liquid using some worm oil and pearl powder. Put it in a dropper bottle with a stainless nut and shake it before use. Works fine.
would that work with all the powders we have quite a few never thought about the warm oil.Quote:
