Anglinarcher Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 Do you want it transparent or do you want it opaque? If you want it to be a bright blue, add a little white with your blue pigments. This will make it opaque and a bright light blue. If you want it transparent, the more pigment you add the darker it will be. If you wanted a dark blue, opaque, then add a little black with your blue. As for uv-go, I'll really have to let someone else answer that. I hope I understand your question. If not, well, maybe someone else can help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will give the blue color something to reflect the light. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 Ok just trying to help. You said you wanted a blue sapphire like zooms. It is not a solid blue because if it was you would not see the flake in it. You can get a dye from Mf and get a blue like the zoom pictures on there site. Mf blue I am talking about is one of the first ones on his list of colors simply named blue. By the way I believe most of the first ten colors are dyes so be carefull they bleed. If you want a solid blue then post a picture. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A cleaner, like soap? I just don't understand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anglinarcher Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 This may be a translation issue, so perhaps if the poster can identify their native language we can find another poster that they can PM. ???? Want to help, just don't know how. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anglinarcher Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 Got it. I think you have been given the best suggestions we can, I think at this point it is a matter of experimentation. Good luck Burke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FATFLATTIE Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 The blue X2 company from Do-It will give you basically the same results that Montess posted and I feel is very very similar to the sapphire blue from Zoom. Also, if you're just making baits for yourself remember "not perfect" doesn't mean "won't catch 'em"!! I can't get an exact copy of SK blue craw but what I came up with gets em just as good as the original. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ipt Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 i have ultra mrarine from LW and it will get you that color, 15-20 drops per 4oz if my memory serves me right. dont forget the blue glitter. add a drop or 2 of junebug or purple may help as well electric blue from LC seems to be a more brilliant color blue if you ask me.
