now where in the hell do i get a solid nylon tube like that? everywhere i look, no matter what i search for - all i get is nylon tubing that is just a flexible hose. Not a solid straight tube. All i freaking want is a nice even blade that doesnt look like a toy. - Also, i have an RGrB tri cree, and when i do white - it has a purple tint to it. i can also see the base colors at the bottom, partially unmixed. is this normal.

Nylon blades are old tech. As I recall, we stopped using nylon because of its tendency to warp over time. The polycarbonate blades are a much better solution.

If you're having issues with color separation, the addition of blade diffuser to your blade can help. Some people also lightly sand their blades for improved diffusion.

well i have a trans white blade, with corbin film and its still doing it. is the trans white any good? or should i lightly sand a clear poly blade? im planning on getting polypropylene to add to the corbin film. but how much should i get. i have a double wrap of the corbin atm.

I use the transwhites a good bit. They don't look quite as good with the warm colors (red, orange, amber), but they're pretty nice with the cool colors.

I personally use 4 to 6 feet of clear gift wrap in my blades. Some people use a little more. You can buy a roll of it from your local hobby/craft shop. I got mine from Michael's.

yeah i literally just got back from michaels. i got the 40" by 100' clear gift wrap. i put in probably about 2 feet, ill add more and see if i like it. so i figured full power RGrB would make white, but actually its more like full GrB, and only 200ma red.
