Thread: Color Recipe????

I haven't heard of any pre-mixed plastic colors, if that's what you are wondering about. If your colors are changing or shifting when you reheat/remelt you are getting the plastic too hot. Using a thermometer?

Also after about the third reheat add about 3 drops of heat stabilizer and yes if it's turning on you its in your heat.. You should start a notebook of all your own recipes. And if you need help all the guys on here will help

Thanks .....

I sent you a PM.

I am not using a thermometer. Is there a temperature I need to stay at?

Thanks for the advise. Maybe a "recipe" thread wouldn't be a bad idea.

I like to stay around 340 don't get over 350 on most plastics. There's some forms that have recipes , that would be a great thing to start.

The Color Recipe Thread is a sticky at the top of the page

What colors you trying to mix?
