regular color not X2..



bluegill(c)
1) Blue/Pearl Laminate.
More commonly used colors are:
(2) Pumpkin and or Green Pumpkin.
(3) Solid Black.
(4) Blue.
(5) Black and Blue Combinations.

BLUEGILL(d)
4 ounces Plastic
1 Drop Black (smoke)
Just a touch (or desired amount) of the following glitter: small blue, medium black and gold,
large green. Use less large green than the other flakes.
Another version:
Same as above, but drop the blue flake and pour a light blue vein instead.

Bubblegum(b)
Plastic : 1/2 cup @ 4 oz.
5-6 drops Florescent Pink
2 drops white
Notes : The florescent pink must be added before you heat the plastic.

Junebug
Plastic : 1 ounce
add purple color until you reach a medium to medium heavy shade.
add green glitter( enough to your able to see the green shade).

Bullfrog
1 cup plastisol
20 drops yellow
2 drops black
fine green glitter 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon
large black glitter 1/4 teaspoon
fine black glitter 1/4 teaspoon

Cotton Candy
Plastic : 4 ozs.
1 drop pumpkin
1 drop red,
green, red, black, & blue glitter.

Culprit Red Shad
1) black color (with or without red flake) with some red Hi-lite powder mixed in...this is the dark back
2) strawberry, again with the red HL powder mixed in, usually some red flake...the red belly
***I frequently adjust the red belly color by adding some drops of black, blue or purple to darken it a bit.

Frog Formula
4 oz Plastic
8 drops lc kudzu green
add 1/4 teaspoon of medium black flake. This is the top of the frog
4 oz Plastic
1/4 teaspoonful white pearl powder. This is the bottom layer of the frog.

Ghost hologram
1/2 cup plastic
1/8 tsp Large black Flk. 1/8 tsp Small Silver Hologram Flk.

Golden Punkin' seed
8 oz plastic
5 drops pumpkin seed
10 drops flo yellow
Add 1/4 tsp med. black flake
dont forget 1/8 tsp pearl white
Alt recipie instead of using flo yello use chartreuce, then substutie the pearl white with green hi lite's
Gourd Green
Root Beer or Amber Brown with medium and large green flake will both make nice Gourd Green colors. Pumpkin works too.

Gourd Green(b)
get real close to Zm's gourd green using LC pumpkin and medium green flake.
I don't remember an exact formula for it, but use it sparingly and you'll get there,
I am thinking around 3-4 drops per 8 OZ. Try adding some small black flake too, really cool effect.

green weenies
Mine is amber brown on top and lime green on the bottom (black & red flake).
Another popular one is straight brown over avocado. Makes a darker version
4 oz plastic
3 drops watermelon
2 drops Moss Green
black flake to taste
PART 2
4 oz plastic
3 drops straight Brown
1 drop Jet Black transparent
2 drops pumpkinseed.
NO FLAKE!
You can stick with 6 drops of brown if you have to but the formula above makes a far nicer chocolate

Ice Blue
1 cup plastic
2 drops blue
1/2 tsp pearl white powder
1/2 tsp Large Blue Flake
1/2 tsp Small Silver Holo Flake

June Bug(a)
1 1/2 cups plastic

when plastic is hot stir in green glitter until you get the desired effect.

Motor Oil Camo
4 oz Plastic
5 drops natural brown
20 drops motor oil
2 drops green


Motor Oil
4 oz Plastic
2 drops black

motor oil.
4 oz Plastic

Add your choice of flake. If you want it just a tad darker, try adding 2 drops of purple.

Motoroil
1/2 Cup Plastisol
10 drops Chartruse (must be mixed with plastisol before heating)
10 drops Motoroil
If you cut the colorant to 7-8 drops each, the color comes out more on the watermelon side.
Add a little fine red flake to this produces a very nice color.

Motor oil pepper
1/2 cup plastic
2 drops yellow
1 drop pumpkinseed
1/4 tsp Large Black Flk.

large chartreuse and black glitter
medium green and black glitter
*add flakes to desired amounts.

zoom green pumpkin
In 4 ounces of plastic

6 drops pumpkinseed
medium black flake.
. You can also add a couple drops of brown to Lure Craft's
green pumpkin for a darker effect.

Zoom's Red Bug
4 ounces of Plastic:

Plastic : 4oz.
add 4 drops of green
add 6 drops of blue pearl

Blue Neon vein (per ounce of plastic: 1 drop blue, 1 drop black, touch of blue hi-lite)
Brown belly (2 drops per ounce).
Add some red flake in the watermelon for an added effect.
the flake is optional. You may have heard of "Aaron's Magic Red". That's just red flake
in the watermelon. Gives the worm a little more of a crawdad look.
Another option: just add blue hi-lite in the watermelon, then pour your brown. Doesn't
look as good as the triple pour, but it's just as effective.


berkley Camo
1 cup plastic
4 drops of moss green
3 drops of watermelon
2 drops oxblood
now the key I found to give it the brownish effect was the brown Fleck and the
gold fleck added into it. I only had .035 and it should be fine fleck

"Berzerk Berry"
8 oz Plastic
6 drops White Pearlescent
5 drops Black Grape

I like green and blue flake in this one...The color looks crazy in the water,
it works well when the sun is up.

Turn this into cotton candy by adding red and blue glitter
