    Default Transparent Red Question


    Is there any way of making a transparent red without using dye?
    Perhaps a minute amount of red colorant to the plastic?
    Thanks In Advance
    If I dont ask its my fault for not knowing

    You can start with a small amount of red high-lite and add in small amounts till you get the amount of transparency you want. If a drop of your red is too much, then you can try using a toothe pick dipped in the color then into the plastic. you can use a toothe pick, or wooden, (like bamboo), skewer. hope this helps.

    M-F has two Strawberry colors listed, a number 10 one is a bleeding Strawberry and a number 52 Strawberry is supposed to be a no bleed. This is what the site says anyway...
