backwoodsbaits Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Hello, I am wanting to duplicate the color cinnamon with black flake like the Yamamoto 176. The color receipe book shows 1 drop brown to 4oz plastic. I tried LC Brown and it did not even change color with 1 drop. Reheated and added more drops. I have done this severaql times and I am up to 16 drop. it is now a champaign color a great color in certain waters but, My question is this, are colors additives they list in the receipe book a different manufacture and the pigment a heavier brown. Just wondering as I like to take out some of the guess work. Thanks for any guidance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonteSS Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Yes different brands colors are different in color and strength. If a recipe doesnt specify a brand you are guessing. Never tried the LC brown but I know their Pumpkin is very potent, and only a few drops are needed. Try shaking/mixing it better. ...Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff@mf Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 You can get real close with black and brown, but it may vary on who's brown you have. I think all black will be the same but browns are different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Which brown from LC do you have? I have Chocolate and Brown. Both of which seam pretty strong. On the black I guess they all end up black but some are stronger than others. MFs black I can get a nice smoke in small batches but not others. Some just look real green before they turn black.

Bass-Boys Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 (edited) I would say you have to shake the color up to mix it . they settle bad. where in MICHIGAN are you ? Edited April 11, 2012 by Bass-Boys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryanmc Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 I've been able to get really close with M-F cinnamon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
