wannabefishing Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 does anyone use this stuff? i got a sample from MF and i gave it a go, probably alot harder to keep consitent colour wise... tried the neon blue, 1/8tsp w/blue flakes and it made a nice smokey blue colour i can't seem to duplicate using liquid colouring... and as luck would have it, i have been doing really well with this colour and i'm just about out of the powder... wondering if anyone has used it and tried to match it to a colour they poured with liquid dye?

BassnRandy Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 I have been using it alot since i got samples from M-F. 11 colors now. The stuff is fantastic andyou can't duplicate it with liquid or the neon powders. The combinations are endless and some powders give you different colors when mixed in dyed plastic. I put the neon brown in purple plastic and it looks like a copper penny color (brand new) inside the plastic. Also it tends to show up almost like a blood line if you use the right amount. Jim from Ghost baits is using these powders also and should chime in as he has used more colors than I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcl58 Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 i have not been able to duplicate the powders with liquids. with the powders you have to mix it for a while. i usally run my powder/liquid plastic in a mixer (lab/magnetic mixer) for at least 20 minutes before heating. mixing that long does not allow the powders to settle out in the plastic creating strings of light to dark colors. have you shot the brillant gold, it sure puts the hurt on the red fish here on the gulf coast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannabefishing Posted September 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 guess i'm gonna have to break down and order some MF sent me the neon blue and the yellow/green neon, haven't tried the yellow/green yet... shipping is hard to take on small orders, but i am gonna order more blue and a few other colours... maybe that brown neon and iridescent pearl, wish they had a colour guide on their site.

Smallie Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 I have bought around $200.00 worth of product from M-F including 5 gallons of plastic. At what level do they start sending samples? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBC Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 Smallie, Just ask for something you want to try. The last time I ordered plastic I just asked if I could get a sample of something and they just sent it to me. They are good people to work with!!
