Using White Instead Of Salt?

[bryanmc]

I currently only use salt in my baits to make them opaque (not for weight). I'd like to stop using salt all together since it's a pain to keep it constant through a large batch of plastic. My question is, does anyone have any idea of how much white colorant it takes to get the same opaqueness as 1 tbsp of salt (or any other salt to colorant conversion amount)? I know I could just experiment with it but I'm hoping to find a relatively close starting point.

Thanks

You can buy some of the colors that are opaque already. I think some colors you just have to add more to your plastic. I haven't tried white or attempted to turn most of the colors I got opaque.

I'm not so sure you would want to replace salt with white. The white can only take a couple of reheats before it isn't white anymore. I know you can get "sugar flakes" that might work well for you. They are just clear flakes. I think white might also be available now. You can get sugar flakes from Senko Sam

try 3 or 4 drops of white

With colors like Chartreuse it will turn the plastic scrambled egg yellow, I use that for a bluegill belly
