Will Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 Hello, Just wondering if anyone has a formula down for rootbeer? LC has a color called rootbeer but it is just brown. Your help will be appreciated. The pictures depict the color I'm trying to accomplish. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodsac Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 Will, I haven't used LC rootbeer, but that color looks almost identical to LC amber brown. You'll have to add about 20 drops per 4 oz of plastic to get that color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delw Posted October 16, 2004 Report Share Posted October 16, 2004 The best color for root beer I have found is goto your local craft store and pic up a bottle of candle dye that is brown. Ive tried to recreate it with colors and I just cant get it perfect. I did have to add red into the colors to get it to look the best.

BASS8BAITS Posted October 16, 2004 Report Share Posted October 16, 2004 Hey Del, I'm in Phoenix. Where are you getting this candle dye from? I tried a craft store once but the stuff i looked at wasnt in liquid form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Posted October 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2004 Woodsac, Del, Thanks for the advice. A bit of brown and red it is the way to go then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delw Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 Crafts mart they sell it both in liquid(which is better and stronger) and in a wax. The wax doesnt mix as well. Delw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojo Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 I was going through my recipe list and found an entry that said to try Watermelon and Black Grape in equal parts to get root beer. I haven't tried it yet, but I will this weekend. I'll let ya know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 Yeah that's one that I stumbled on by mistake......as usual. Just don't overdo it with the coloring; about 2 drops each of melon and black grape in 4 ounces of plastic will work great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
