Jigsbydirk Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 How do I keep my colors, like bubblegum pink, chartreuse, and other light colors from fading? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senkosam Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 Protect them from ultraviolet light and use a bit more colorant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dampeoples Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 I had some fade on me when I first started, and I thought that some of it was how hot I had the plastic, I think I pour on the cool side now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint308 Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 I had that issue. If you reheat plastic too much it will fade overnight. I saw that happen with watermelon colors the most. Also, if you do a dry reheat it will happen. Always reheat in liquid. Saint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB GONE Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 Also, if you do a dry reheat it will happen. Always reheat in liquid. Saint. GREAT ADVICE!!! If you use some "fresh" plastic and heat it to liquid, add your re-melts in smaller pieces, your color will hold a lot better!! Thanks Saint!!!
