Thank you DaveMc1

Thanks Frank. I did go to the website and found the Dip & Glo range. Not sure if it's obscure in the site or not but I'm looking for an additive to mix into virgin plastisol rather than just dipping the made lure into the bottle. I'm finding the UV reactant powder I have is not dissolving completely and was advised some time ago about going the liquid method.

Just a quick Q, Liquid UV treatments to mix into your plastisol and colouring. Powder treatments just don't cut it for me. Any links to US suppliers ?

I have found that some top inject molds do not like to be clamped but some do. I have a mold from BT in various sizes and one requires to be bolted using the provided hardware where as another size/s can be easily shot using clamps. Put it down to where the bolts are positioned in relation to the breathing channels. Clamping over the channels will produce a bad shoot with one little chin bubble just below the sprue and unintentional eye sockets. Try using different injection pressure.

Usually, if I want a " Solid color" I add colorant after cooking virgin plastisol. Works well with liquid colors. Liquid white added "Hot" will also solidify whatever color you have added however you'll need compensate to achieve your intended result.

Forgive me if there is a post/ thread buried through the pages, but has anyone heard of, used these temperature dependent changing color powders? Not that much out there in the cyber world relating to SP crafting. I would like to read up about it if there are any useful links or member experience.

I'm sure that the OP is referring to a 5 lt electric pot with an external element underneath. The thermo control can be controlled. Have it set to 8 on the dial, it's regulated to 180c. I use one my self My first post here, just signed up to clarify the deep fryer Q for JRammit... Hello from Aussie. I'll navigate around and introduce myself :-)
