D.J. Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 Try adding a drop or two of black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Prager Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 Does it look blue out of the bottle? Put a drop on a piece of paper towel. The reason I say this is, I received some LC Watermelon several months ago and it was something like a strawberry. Sometimes they apparently get mislabled. It happens. I love their watermelon!

D.J. Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 That is very true. I didn't even think about being mislabeled. The watermelon should not look blue at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tw53487 Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 For my Watermelon I like to put some of Del's Rootbeer into LC's Watermelon. It gives the watermelon a slight tint of brown and looks killer. It's something like 4 - 6 drops watermelon, 8 drops rootbeer into 4 ounces of plastic. The recipes at home, but it's something like that. Give it a try, you might like it or you might hate it but it's something different.

basskat Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 I really like Del's "Light Watermelon". I add a drop or two of black to get it a little darker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millsryno Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 I like Del's Light Watermelon also, but it is a little weak in potency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsmblack Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 I too have had a problem with LC watermelon looking blue, but it was after it sat a couple of days after being poured. I believe the problem may have been that I wasn't getting it mixed up well before adding to plastic. Try shaking very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nova Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 I've never had a problem with LC's colors. Some of the colors have more of a settling problem that others. The solution is to put a "fresh" nut in the bottle so that when you shake the bottle it stirs the color up quickly. Do not use BB's as they will have a tendancy to plug the outlet as you put the color in the plastic. Use a nut; or two; as big as will fit into the neck of the bottle. www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dutchman Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 Make sure you shake bottle very well. Also, be careful how hot you get your plastic. Overheating will change the color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint308 Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 My watermelon red recipe is as follows: 4 oz. MF SS plastic 1.5 TBS diamond salt 20 drops Del Light Watermelon 4 drops Green Pumpkin 2 drops Black This is the recipe I use for watermelon/red (red & black flake). I use a little different recipe for wateremlon/gold, watermelon/Blue & watermelon seed. These baits are a little more translucent. That recipe is as follows: 4 oz. MF SS plastic 1.5 TBS diamond salt 18 drops Del light watermelon 2 drops black I hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsmblack Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 Nova, when you say put a "fresh nut" in the bottle, are you talking about something like a peanut or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nova Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 Ther you go DJ. Just make sure it's new and clean. Jim; I tried the BB's but they can fall down and plug the spout as you are putting the color into the plastic. www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
