Re: bubblegum

Use white and red, dont use Flo pink, if I remember correctly you need to drop one drop of purple in it

Re: bubblegum

not quite what i'm looking for, it left it a little mauvish.. gy's bubblegum is really bright in comparison to all others i've seen... that recipe would be more of a yum/zoom type bubblegum if fiddled with...

tried it in:

6oz plastic
1oz softener
1.5oz salt
110 drops of white
10 drops red
1 drop purple

only ended up with such a high count 'cause i was trying to lighten the purple as much as possible lol

Re: bubblegum

Try tossing in some red hi-lite and see if that helps......

Re: bubblegum

never thought of that either, tried and it's still way off... the pic they have on their site is very deceiving as it looks nothing like that. It's a really really bright fl pinkish type colour, not bubblegum in the traditional sense at all... if my PC was up i'd snap a pic of it myself...

so frustrating... lol

Re: bubblegum

wannabe

since you are using salt, mix your plastic with out any color. then just add pure red and see how it goes. then add a drop of white and continue. I am thinking due to the white color of the salt its basically adding too much white, He its just a thought, but might be worth trying.

I know I made the bright pink color in the past cause I use pink alot. I will check my boat out and see if I have any org pink senkos laying in there and see what I can come up with over the next few days.
