Junglecat205 Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 I am new at this so this will probably sound stupid be here it goes when you buy colors and your going to make a color you have such as watermelon how many drops of that color do you use per ounce?

Basseducer Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 Usually If I am trying to match a color, I start with 1 to 2 drops at a time until I get the color I want. If you asked for a watermelon formula from twenty guys on here you would get twenty different versions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junglecat205 Posted March 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 Thanks I just wasent sure if you had a bottle of colorant that was pumpkinseed and you wanted to make pumpkinseed worms how many drops to put in but if I read what you are saying right than I just start out with a few drops until I get the shade I want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonteSS Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 All manufacturers' colorents are different in strength. Each color is different in strength too. Do you like a more opaque or translucent bait? Try 20 drops per 4 oz as a starting point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassinfool Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 ispikeit.com watermelon 101 colorant. Literally all you need to do is shake up the colorant before you add your drops and you're good to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark poulson Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 Add and stir until you get a color you like. It's like when a recipe says "salt and pepper to taste". Remember the thicker the bait the darker the color will look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tsic Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 And one more thing, if you get a color you like write it down. If you're like me you will forget how many drops and how much glitter you used Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ipt Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 usually a 4oz batch for me will be between 10-20 drops total. sometimes more sometimes less. write down your formulas and scale accordingly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
