Would like to see some of Your colors and the recipe it takes to get it. Thanks.CF
thats really a good question. The only bad part is, I never write stuff down like I should. I just experiment. I need to do a better job cause some colors i liked and did not know how to repeat them.
we never keep a formula for mixing anything it would make you sick if you seen some of the stuff that I've mixed up. Maybe that's why I don't write them down. They look so bad you don't want them.
you know snake, we really make some nice colors not to have a formula. I just hope nobody asks me for a repeat of a certain color, I will be in trouble
I have a small 2 ring binder that holds 3x5 index cards I write all my formulas based on drops and use of the small measure spoons for glitter.
good deal on that for sure. I never thought about using index cards to write down my mixtures and I do like the fact of using a small measuring spoon for glitter it is very hard to keep track of some of the stuff because one drop of coloring can make a big difference in what comes out.sometimes I go to bear baits in read some of the forms that they have on mixing up plastic colors . They do have some good recipes you get a chance drop in and check them out . Also tackle underground have some interesting stuff on their.Quote:

I have thought about many ways to do formulas, like index cards and several other ways. If I did this for a business I would probably use one of those ways. However I just do it for a hobby, so therefore I do not keep track of it. Now if I make a color that I catch tons of fish on and want more of, that might be when I wished I wrote it all down
I guess I should use index cards but I don't it would definitely help me keep track of the color tones .Quote:

hey snake, you could just use that word processor and not have to write it all and then print it into a notebook.
yes it does make sense for every drop of coloring that you use is a different tone in there is only 99 billion different shades in if you are lucky and hit on something that really works well then you should have it wrote down and keep it locked up in a safe. To give you a example. I recently was trying to imitate somebody else's bait a leading manufacture on their colors and possible to do because you do not have. The mixture of color. But this is really funny because most of the people that sell baits usually have a manufacture Golin ask one of the plastic people that sell their plastics under their name and asked them what's the formula for that bait. What colors do you use and how many drops of color do you use I will assure you that you will not get a reply on all my plastic baits that I make. I cannot tell you exactly how much coloring that I use because I use my eyes not my brain. I put enough then so if it looks good to me. It should look good to everyone else in the and that I'm a fisherman. I know exactly what I'm looking for and I'm sure that you guys will like it. Ha haQuote:
