"smoke" Color Baits Turning Green

[jigmeister]

I have had this happen with a couple of pours using black liquid color for smoke color baits that turned green .

The first time with a medium consistancy plastic that turned green when exposed to sunlight all day and the second time was with salt water plastic during heating pouring . My smoke/ purple glitter baits turned into green /purple glitter. Anybody else had this experience? I am wondering if plastic colorant has a shelf life because I think it was a pretty old bottle of black . I suppose maybe the plastic may have been too hot as another possibility?

Sounds like your plastic got to hot.

It might also be the glitter. Try pouring a few baits without the glitter and see if they turn green.

I have found when I am making Smoke colored baits I try and heat up just enough plastic that I will use to pour into the molds. I have found Smoke will turn a greenish tint as you reheat it. They love the way my smoke baits come out. It took some trial and error to get that color right. Smoke it one of the trickiest ones to pour for me.
