I just use a paint can opener scoop full of blue hi-lite, 2 paint can opener scoops full of pearl in 4 oz clear plastic and add .15 black flake to taste. I also add a drop of X2 white sometimes to give it a more solid color. You could also decrease the pearl, add no pearl or add more hi-lite. I use a paint can opener for all my hi-lites and pearls. I find it to be just the right size scoop for them. :)

Thank you my friend. Were you using powder paint?
I think he's using pearl powder Ship. Violet hi lite is a nice color too in the milk. The drop of white does a good deed to Monkey Milk.
Thank you my friend.

Do-it pearl powder and blue hi-lite.
I use pearl hi lites, then a touch of violet hi lite...not much violet then black metal flake
Thanks gain everyone. I appreciate your help.
Bears baits blue hi lites. 3 scoops about the size of a match head each. .15 black flake to taste. 1/2 cup of plastic. Very easy recipe once you get it dialed in.CF
Thank you. I will be making some milk up tonight after church. I cannot wait to try out these recipes. Is there any problem with remelts when using powder paint?
No.
Use it up fast if You have the molds or use stabilizer. I have some I have reheated 10 times and it still holds up but I do use stabilizer.CF
My first batch was crap so I will be trying it again tonight. I used too much glitter and it took away from the look.
I also found a way to create a nice "Fly box" for lures. It does not cost $25 like the ones at BPS. I made it for 1/5th of the price. Go to Walmart and buy a small locking plano box, Go to dollar tree and get the sponges with the scouring pad on the bottom. Cut the sponges to fit the box and attach with Loktite sponge side up. Be sure to use needle nose pliers and crush the barbs of your jigs before inserting them into the box. I will post photos tonight.
I use like an 1/8 a teaspoon or less of glitter. A little goes along way.
Well here is my version of the Monkey Milk. Thanks everyone.

Pictures don't do the color justice.
Oh yes the fish will bite them. I've tried numerous ways to take pics of monkeys milk, mo milk, etc. colored baits and pics just don't do the color right like they are in person when viewing.
I agree the any of the pearl white colors with hi lite can be a tough, tough picture to take and try to get the real effects of the hi lite to show up. The hi lite will show up in a transparent color much better but the milk colors are just hard to get results in a picture.
