jsbass Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Has anyone ever had an issue with the color grape (or purple) disappearing when cooking? I don't get it. I had this problem in the past but thought I just had a bad batch of colorant. I was making a color I don't make very often (Junebug) which is 75 Drops of MF Grape and 6 drops of MF Blue non-bleed. (per cup of plastic) Before you know it, the color Grape cooks right out of the plastic Did I not shake the bottle enough? Is it the color purple? Some one else must have had this happen before.....please help. Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parker085 Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 I had some issue with Junebug the first few times I made it. My purple was fading. Trying add 10 drops of heat stabilizer, per 4 oz of plastic. Here is the post that I found that talks about heat stabilizer helping. http://www.tackleunderground.com/community/topic/5613-zoom-june-bug/page__p__36135__hl__%2Bgrape+%2Bheat+%2B__fromsearch__1#entry36135 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to watch the heat with the grapes/black grapes Try heating slower and/or a couple of drops of heat stabilzer. If the grape was looking grayish that's what happened. Try not to have to do more than one reheat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basscandy92040 Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 I too have had the problem....I think to much heat is the problem. I was using 20 LC purple and I had to up to 40 and watch the heat in my Lee pot.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
