saint308 Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 I have tried every combination I can think of to get a June Bug like Zoom's. The colors I am using are Black Grape and Black. It seems I cannot create the purple color I am looking for. It always has more of blue tint than purple. Do I need some purple dye rather than Black Grape? If so, what brand do you recommend? All the colors I currently have are from Del. Thanks. Saint. P.S. I have tried the combinations found in the cookbook on this site. I still do not get the dark purple I am looking for.

BassinBob Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 June bug 6 ounces Calhoun Plastic 40 drops Lure Craft ? Black Grape 1 tsp. Del-Mart .035 Green Glitter Heat in microwave for 3:20 minutes in burst of 30 seconds. Add fewer drops of black grape if you like a lighter purple color.

texasbass1 Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 The formula I use for Junebug is: 4 oz plastic 20 drops grape 2 drops black Green flake to taste 10 drops of heat stabilizer I have found without the heat stabilizer they start out purple but then get a blue tint. The HS eliminates that problem. Also, don't heat it to hot that will cause it to fade as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB GONE Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Here is a real close one to Zooms: 8oz plastic... 12 drops grape (M-F), 30 black/grape (LC), 5 black (LC) loads of medium green flake.....add some red for a great look Heat stabilizer will help with color deterioration from repeat heats...
