nova Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 There are several types of "junebug" color. Some have a bluish background and some have a purple background. Did you check the sticky? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish_N_Fool Posted January 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 Yes I checked the sticky and I'll take any recipes for a salt junebug color Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nova Posted January 29, 2005 Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 I haven't made a junebug with salt yet. I only have a recipe for non-salt. I use 25 drops LC black grape with 4 oz. plastic. You will have to increase the color quite a bit. You might even have to add a drop or two of black to take away the effect of the salt. I assume you "flour" your salt.

alsworms Posted January 29, 2005 Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 I'm with Nova. Black Grape always make a nice junebug color, but if you're using lots of salt, you might want to try MF's indigo color. 2 drops per ounce of plastic is more than enough to make your plastic a dark blueish/grape color. Try doubling that recipe with extreme salt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish_N_Fool Posted January 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 what size and colors of glitter do you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 For basic junebug, I use just small and medium green flake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nova Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 I'm the same Chris. But I suppose one could get funky and use 90's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB GONE Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 M-F's Indigo is the best I've tried!!! It was a pain to me to add alot of LC Black grape AND some black with MAYBE a little blue. Color is good but just seems better and easier with the Indigo plus more consistent from batch to batch. I use the green flake medium. Looks great with the medium blue also!!!
