Fulldraw84 Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 (edited) While trying to recreate the color "KVD Kick" from strike king I wasted the last 8 oz of my caney creek plastic so I got alittle inventive and found some test tubes that I had and filled them half up with mineral oil then took all the colors that I thought could possibly match and started adding one drop of this and one drop of that. After only a few minutes I had a pretty good match only using the suspected colors I originately thought. Blue and watermelon. Then I threw in a little .015 silver holo and gold glitter. Added alittle .035 balck glitter. shake it up like a snow globe and wallah! KVD Kick in a test tube. Although I dont know the drops per oz for color mixing, I am now confident that this new method of testing will save me time and money in the future. This might not be a bullet proof idea but might be a helpfull tip for someone else in a bind like myself.

bassman2169 Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 Great info Joe. This could be very helpful when trying make custom colors. You could measure out an ounce or two and then mark that on your test tube. Multiply your ounces and drops of color for the amount you are mixing up and be spot on every time. Thanks again for the info. Joey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
