Thread: Yellow w/ Black Flake

It may well be that yellow just won't stand up to black glitter i large doses. Some glitters don't have to bleed to have a backwards effect on the plastic color.

I won't even mix up yellow and I don't use it to adj use other colors either.

Only my 2nd time mixing.

First off Thank you for finding the time to try your skills on this obsession of mine.

As you can tell by the PIC's below, what my frustration was from the beginning of this issue,
(obviously the Dark Olive Green shows up here as a Brown with Blk Glitter.)

I am starting to realize that there must be some Powdery Residue on the Glitter to be making this happen.

I now am tapping the top and side of the jar with a butter knife to try and shake off what might be that powder, which has started to eliminate some of the Bleed. (As the PIC shows the outcome is mustard yellow, "as you call it")

I'm still not done with this challenge, but getting closer to what I'm striving for.

Surprisingly enough I've been doing quite well with that Dark Olive Color,
catching The Elusive Crappie, Gills, and some small 13" Large Mouths.

billygee :rolleyes:
