A visual examination of the plastisol is key in determining the proper re-mixing frequency, or if separation has occurred.
The visual appearance of a clear surface layer, or the formation of sediment on the bottom of the container, is an indication that separation has occurred and the plastisol needs to be re-mixed.

A visual inspection of the bottles shows that bottle B still has a very recognizable amber tone.
The L*, a*, and b* values recorded in the table below are also well in accordance with what can be visualized in Figure 2, where there is a shift in the b* value indicating a decrease in yellow tone.
This explains the visual appearance of the plaques having a redder tone.
