King Bait Co. Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 I bought shock orange a year ago give or take. I had forgot I had it So I opened it it is still good but it looks floresent pink or like metholite. Does the name give it away it chages after you pour it. I am not mad if its the wrong color I just don't know I haven't used it yet. So has anyone else bought this color is this the way its supposed to look?

So has anyone else bought this color is this the way its supposed to look? the pigments separated and settled. you will neef to mix it pretty good. ok really good. get 2-4 1/4 nuts and drop it in the then shake the heck out of it off an one for a day or 2. one of the pigments in shock orange will settle more than the other and it will turn that way. after a long period of time , once you mix it , it should be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike-A-Pike Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 Delw, Is any kind of prep required to prepare the nuts before putting them in the bottle? I have found most nuts seem to have a light anti-corrosive agent on them from the point of manufacturing. Just trying to avert the possibility of ruining the color.

Smallie Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 I buy my nuts in 100 packs at Home Depot. They are zinc plated and don't have any rust preventative on them - just drop them in and shake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Bait Co. Posted May 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 I will give it a try thanks everybody. Can you leave the nuts in their for when I use it later or do they need taken out after I mix them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nova Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 If you're not sure if your nuts have grease on them or not, don't take a chance. Wash your nuts in laquer thinner or some other kind of solvent making sure you dry them well before you use them. Ok guys; have at it. lol www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike-A-Pike Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 Reminds me of a actual field memo from IBM in the late 80s when "Pointing Devices" had just come out and user were having problems. It was titled something along the lines of, "The proper care and cleaning of mouse balls." I have never seen grown men laugh so hard in my life and the guild could been applied to a live mouse as a computer mouse. Gees that was funny.

jmik26 Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 Just don't use BB's. I tried this and they work well but, they fall to the tip and clog the opening . Suddenly one drop turns into a squirt... We take our color, remove the lid, and stick in the microwave for about 10 seconds then shack the heck out of it. All of my colors from different companies seperate, I think its just the nature of the beast... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
