Senkosam Posted October 26, 2003 Report Share Posted October 26, 2003 I poured clear with pearl amber from Lurecraft. I was a little suspicious from the powder's appearance - almost reddish copper. Of course the worm turned out the same way - redish copper-pearl. It caught bass and picks today but that's not the point. I thought amber was brownish-yellow, not copper. What's up with that? I haven't contacted them about their motor oil color yet. Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted October 27, 2003 Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 Hey Sam, If you're looking for more of an amber color, MF's is the way to go. Lure Craft's amber is now labeled "amber brown". To me, it looks like a brown cinnamon. I don't see any amber in it at all. From what I'm told, they had a few people complain about that. You might also try asking Dave at Lure Craft if they have more of a yellowish amber. They have tons of products in stock that are not listed in the catalog.

Senkosam Posted October 27, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 Thanks Al. I wish they wouldn't misadveritise products. I'll call Dave tomorrow and see if there is an amber powder, otherwise I'll purchase yellow pearl and mix it with this stuff or try to get credit. I'm trying to get Riverside or Zoom's firetiger which is a flor. green/black flake/pearl laminated to a flor orange/amber pearl. Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docirv Posted October 27, 2003 Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 : What is the full name of the company you refer to as MF and do they have a web site or phone number? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted October 27, 2003 Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 Sure thing....... The name is MF Manufacturing www.fishingworld.com/M-F-Manufacturing 1-817-281-9488 The fella's name is Robert. Very cool folks to work with. Sam..... you might also try a drop or 2 of yellow or transparent yellow added to the amber brown. I'm afraid pearl yellow will make it more opaque, unless that's what you're looking for. Signal Green or Kudzu Green mixed with a touch of yellow also makes a nice fire tiger color. The possibilities are endless. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docirv Posted October 27, 2003 Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 Thanks for the info about MF. How does there plastic and other supplies compare to the others? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthworm77 Posted October 27, 2003 Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 Frank, try adding less color and add a drop of pearl to the mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted October 27, 2003 Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 MF is more expensive, but I think they have the best plastic on the market. The glitter and oils are basically the same, but some of the colors are different. I use both MF and Lure Craft for colors and powder.

Senkosam Posted October 27, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 M-F is expensive for everything related to pouring. I've compared all to LureCraft and M-F is definitely higher. Craig, no matter how little I use, it still comes out like cinnamin or pearl copper and not even close to amber. Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
