Is there some type of Color Recipe out there? I was hoping that there would, instead of me mixing colors to see what happens. I've noticed that when I reheat that the colors change too.
Thanks .....

I haven't heard of any pre-mixed plastic colors, if that's what you are wondering about. If your colors are changing or shifting when you reheat/remelt you are getting the plastic too hot. Using a thermometer?
Also after about the third reheat add about 3 drops of heat stabilizer and yes if it's turning on you its in your heat.. You should start a notebook of all your own recipes. And if you need help all the guys on here will help
I sent you a PM.Quote:

The Color Recipe Thread is a sticky at the top of the page:biggrin
What colors you trying to mix?
Nothing specific. I have just noticed that some people have some really great colors for their plastics.
