Alright, I'll cut 100g of the blue when I get back, any priming tips for both the red and blue? Green mix should do it right?

Yep add 5% metal if you have trouble with them lighting. I use Shimizu red but I find it less deep than the metallic colors, but that's obvious why. It's debatable whether the chlorine donator is necessary. I say if you've got it use it (it's 2% anyway, why not?). Edited January 30, 2010 by firetech

I have to ask out of curiosit..... Is Hypalon close enough related to PARLON , to be a chlorine donor? I have a1/2 lb that needs a use.

Ventsi- is there a reason you are not willing to acquire some Parlon? I do understand being broke and all but I would like to understand why you are limiting yourself to just what you have posted as materials to work with for your compositions. There are some wonderful comps, organic comps, that you will not be able to make due to the lack of certain readily available and not all that expensive chemicals. If this is too personal a question, say so and I will search out some of my stuff with a more careful eye to find those formulae that fit your requirements. Most of what I have now though uses Parlon as the main Chlorine donor.

some of them seem like they won't work, especially #3.

I'm positive on the first and last.

 

The first one is present in the following video, but with PVC instead of parlon and some shellac instead of RG.

thats good I was mainly concerned about 2 and 3, so it's nice to know the others do in fact work
