LJMLuke Posted August 13, 2003 Report Share Posted August 13, 2003 Hey guys, I am having an awfull time trying to get a watermelon senko. I have tried for awhile with no good results. I made some a while back but didn't write it down. I have sice gone through over 5 mixes and I'm not close. All looks good untill I add the red flake, then it turns very dark(lure craft flake). I am using 1/2 cup plastic, 12 drops heat stab, 1 1/2 teaspoon red flake, and 6 drops watermelon color. I have also tried 9 drops, 12 drops 18 drops 24 drops. I am also using 1/3 cup salt. I add the salt first and it looks good then the flake and it turns on me. Luke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodsac Posted August 13, 2003 Report Share Posted August 13, 2003 I would try adding a lot less watermelon. If it gets dark when you add the red flake, try starting your color lighter. Try 3 or 4 drops of watermelon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthworm77 Posted August 14, 2003 Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 Luke, put the salt in just before you pour. As you stir it in go with the flake. I had a similiar problem when I wanted to add scent to my pot of watermielon...it would discolor and turn yellowy on me. I have since added scent just before pouring. Cut down on the heat stabilizer by half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
