Hello, I am wanting to duplicate the color cinnamon with black flake like the Yamamoto 176. The color receipe book shows 1 drop brown to 4oz plastic. I tried LC Brown and it did not even change color with 1 drop. Reheated and added more drops. I have done this severaql times and I am up to 16 drop. it is now a champaign color a great color in certain waters but, My question is this, are colors additives they list in the receipe book a different manufacture and the pigment a heavier brown. Just wondering as I like to take out some of the guess work. Thanks for any guidance.
