    Default I took the plunge.


    I just ordered all 2X COLORS from do-IT as we are completely switching over I find the 2X the highest quality and not only that but it goes a long ways.

    and we will be ordering from spike it their plastic their medium grade is fantastic do not get any yellowing on 4 to 5 warm-ups.

    I put a 2 small stainless nuts in my x2 colorant bottles and leave them in site so I can rotate them every now and then. I think the white is the worse. I also rotate my plastic. So far no more settling! I still use Bears( Calhouns) plastic. Really good prices when on sale. Seems to take the heat also.

    all the colors from different manufacturers all do the same thing I have t3 quart bottles in the white is the worst but you'll have the same problem no matter which one do you buy from other manufacturers.

    There you is. Thought you fell off in the swamp somers. We use to put the shop paint for cars ( rod days) in a warm water bath and that would help them break up.
    Have not tried it with x2. You catching any fish?

    All colorants are susceptible to settling and hard packing. The worst I've encountered are MF stuff, but the X2 colors can get stubborn too. When you handle new bottles of color, if the bottle weighs a lot, it will, or should be, on your list of colors to keep shook up or you'll be finding time to resolve a problem.
