  1. Did you add the color before heating? This is a MUST when it comes to fluorescent colors. Also, make sure you shake the color really well. Flo colors have a tendency to settle. If you've done all this, I believe Lure Craft makes a bubble gum color that is really bright. You might give that a shot.
  2. Right back atcha, Les.......and to all TU members and their families.
  3. Is everyone done? Good......because I believe Thebassturd got the answer/answers he was looking for. Locking thread now.......
  4. Another thing to look at as most have made the not mixing mistake...... I don't know how much plastic you used for that batch, but once you've mixed the plastic properly, your next batch of baits might be too hard because the hardener is now not evenly distributed throughout the jug/container.......if that makes any sense. A little softener should take care of that.
  5. I was never a worm oil guy because of the inconsistencies. That's why I changed to popcorn salt.
  6. I believe Zoom's version is just watermelon with blue hi-lite.
  7. California. Figures. 20 years ago I was on a 10 year plan to get out of this state. Now I'm on a 10 year plan. lol
  8. Not a dumb question at all. Scientific meaning.... http://blog.phthalate-free-plasticizers.com/2011/08/31/phthalate-free-what-does-it-actually-mean/ From what I understand, I think it would be next to impossible to claim to have a completely phtalate free plastisol as there are too many variables that could be introduced into the mixture.
  9. So if you click on......say......browse........you are not logged in?
  10. Many of us have had that problem since the last server update. When you visit the site, just click on any forum and you should be logged in. In other words, your password is saved. You just don't know it. LOL
  11. If you can, invest in more molds, even if you are just a hobby pourer. That's always the most obvious answer. Nothing worse than waiting on baits to cool, and they will take longer and longer as the molds get hotter.
  12. That's what I found too. If you rule out bad plastic and moisture, cook more and eventually those bubbles will burn off the top.
  13. Hey no worries. This has always been a tough one for me. I think there's a HUGE difference between being proud of a product you made versus self-promotion, but I guess that's just me. Nice looking baits you have there. Just keep them in the gallery and you're good.
  14. Right back atcha, Rick......and to all TU members and their families.
  15. I hardly ever visit the hard baits section because........quite frankly.........your talent scares me! LOL But I happened to notice this thread and got me thinking........man times have changed! Nate......please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe we were one of the first half dozen or so members? Sure is awesome to see what has become of the site!
  16. Minnow silver was one of my favorites and you shouldn't have any problem re-heating, provided there are not other additives in there.
  17. I'll second that. Great stuff!
  18. Great looking baits......both you guys!!
  19. General consensus is stay away from Bob's for now. No one really knows what's going on.
  20. Yeah that's the problem. I think a question like yours should be started with...... "I'm placing an order for colors........and my budget is........." Otherwise, everyone and their mother will give you ideas. LOL
  21. Looks like junebug to me, but with small green flake. Use LC black grape for your base color.
  22. Yes baby oil will turn your baits into pencils. LOL
