Pineing for a good green

[Paul Downes]

I seem to be having a problem getting a good 'ole Irish green when casting PR. This evening I mixed up a batch and had awesome looking colors using transtint green and high lite green. Got it going and set it on the radiator to set and the durn thing turns a funny yellow color. It seems the blue dyes in the transtint are reacting to heat and fading out.

What do you other casters use for a green colorant? Every time I've tried to order green pigment from artstuff they've been sold out.

I've mostly used the green dyes and pigments from ArtStuf.

Green and Dark green Pigment from Surfsource.net The only pigment with a pig on the label.

A dash of Spring Green Pearl-ex, a dab of Interference Green Pearl-ex, and splash of Creme-de-Menthe for a little Joie de Vivre, hic!

I used "Majestic Green Mica" from Coastal Scents for this blank ,

For PR I use Testors acrylic paint. Large variety of colors there.
