dsqui Posted April 19, 2018 Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 I'm having.trouble getting.my green highlight to show up. I' using 4 oz plastic making a salt and pepper color. I' adding about two match heads of green highlight before heating. When I do blue highlight this seems to work fine for me is green a harder color to get to show up or am I doing something wrong.

alsworms Posted April 19, 2018 Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 This is an odd one as I've never heard of that before......especially since the blue is working. You mentioned adding before heating. That's not necessary with hi-lite colors; only fluorescents. Have you tried heating as the plastic starts to turn clear? Not sure if that would make a difference, but worth a try. Otherwise, I'd contact the supplier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsqui Posted April 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 I was told the highlight mixes in better if added before heating but since not necessary I'll try adding after heated. I was really wondering and I guess I didn' ask if anyone has ever noticed different color highlights taking more or less powder. The only thing I was concerned about was changing the white to an off green by adding to much. So I figured old get everyone' insight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 I mixed all my stuff in cold plastic, including hi-lites and never had a problem. That's why I'm thinking you are either not mixing enough (the hi-lite is not being evenly distributed in the plastic) or there could be a problem with that particular product. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsqui Posted April 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 Thanks al I'm gonna try again tonight. I' pretty sure I'm getting it evenly distributed. I think if anyone was to watch they would say I stir on the heavy side. If i can' get it to show up tonight after two batches I will be contacting the manufacturer.

dsqui Posted April 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 Played around a bit this morning with how much highlight added and nailed it. The conclusion I've come to is different colors take different amounts to show up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsqui Posted April 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 This is with 1/2 to 3/4 smudge of highlight yo 4 ounces plastic kind of amazing how much it takes. But it' just enough to give it that glow in the water. Sorry don' show up to great in pics but I promise it's there. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
