J lure Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 How do you guys test new colors with out wasting plastic and time? I remember there being post about some one using baby oil to test new colors but I can't find that thread, got tired after searching through 15 pages.

I made some color mix in mineral oil and got different result in lurcraft medium plastic. Not good for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bass-Boys Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 the best way I have found is to mix up the plastic and go with less drops of color at 1st ..pour a bait,, if its to light,, add a touch of color and put the light bait back in the plastic and remelt. if the bait is too light of color you can always add more color,, but if its too dark you can not take color out.. but you can add a touch more fresh plastic to the mix, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
