Thread: HELP white wont stay white

I'd add it as soon as the heating yields some liquid plastic to stir it into. Remelts don't melt uniformly so the liquid plastic you see before everything has melted will get the hottest and needs the protection when it first shows up.

depending on which plastics that you are using there is a big difference between the different manufacturers out there some of the plastics will darken very easily are turn yellow very quickly I know there is a lot of pro and con here.

ummmm, sorry bud, pearl is FAR touchier than white. I always have found with larger batches it turns way faster than white will.

Well thats about the only way ill make white..

A nice bright white. All I do is add a little stabilizer to the plastic before I cook it and it's all good. I don't mess with small batches, all 2gal or more.

Anglers choice, 2 gal batch i couldnt even think of a batch that big.I still use 2 cup pyrex cups. Dave

Thats 2 gallons per side, when he runs laminates its a 4 gallon batch. Lol

Hmm I've never had problems with white and actually think it is one of the easiest as far as bubbles are concerned. As suggested back off your heat times and add stabilizer every so often.
