torch26 Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 I am new to pouring and was looking for any help with the Texas Smoke Color. I did not know how much to use of certain colors any information would help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 I just did a search and couldn't find the color. You got a pic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wishn4fishn Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 Zoom makes it as a special distributor color #133 but no picture. I did find a Bass Pro Stik-O in Texas Smoke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 Tough to tell by that pic, but it looks like just dark smoke (you'll have to play with the black until you get the shade you like) and maybe silver flake? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rixon529 Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 This shows better detail. http://www.tacklecenter.com/prodimages/3199-DEFAULT-l.jpg Looks like smoke with black and blue flake. Rick SE CT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 Great shot there, Rick. If that's the Texas Smoke color mentioned, it looks pretty simple........ Looks like a drop of black to about 4 ounces of plastic with large (.062) flake.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallyc14 Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 Haven't used Bass Pro Shops version in a long time but I know it's a smoke color with blues and reds and greens and a couple other colors in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 Can't believe I left out purple in my post. Looks like purple flake to me. LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 If I were trying to make that color, I'd add just a drop of black to my clear, and a drop of heat stabilzer to start, and then my flake, because flake changes the color of the finished plastic, at least for me. I'd make up a small batch that was just for trying to get the color right, so I wouldn't waste my time and plastic pouring something I wound up not liking. Remember, it's always easier to make a color darker than to try to get it lighter, so go slow and take notes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassinfool Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 And if all else fails and you do mess it up, add a lot of black! Hard to mess up black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 LOL - both great points. I forgot about the stabilizer too. That stuff was a Godsend for me when I poured, especially working with purple flake and lighter colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rixon529 Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 Can't believe I left out purple in my post. Looks like purple flake to me. LOL! On my tablet the flake looks blue but on my desktop PC it looks purple. Never realized how very different things can look from one device to another!
