Plugging and color kits
« on: January 10, 2007, 10:21:27 AM »
Are there any differences between the color kits offered by different manufacturers?

I see that Donkee has a kit, Wizard has a kit, Ebonite, and Tec-Line also have color kits.  All the all basically the same?  I see that some have more colors (like orange) and some just have the basics.

How big are the bottles?  1 oz?

Do you guys prefer coloring the plug, or just going with the standard color?  I hear that Wizard usually dries white (or white-ish).  One pro-shop I use tries to color match, and the other just uses clear plug.  I guess there really isn't a difference, other than personal preference.

The wizard takes more coloring to get the color you really want. It will come out a cream white/yellow if you don't put anything in it. it is easier to use tho because it doesn't get dark with it hardeneds.

with clear plugging you always have to add white base, then your color using a few drops, maybe at most 5 for some colors.
 
I like the wizard because it's always sort of close to it, you atleast get a solid color.
