nova Posted December 26, 2007 Report Share Posted December 26, 2007 Sorry I can't help you with the first 2 questions because I use neither. As far as the highlite goes it depends on the amount of plastic you are using and the effect you are after. All of my recipies are at the 4 oz. level; this makes it easier to multiply when you want a larger pour. If you are just looking for a hint of color and you are using a dark background color then start with 1/32 tsp or 1/16 tsp of highlite. It's always easy to add more if needed; but once it's in you can't take it out,lol. www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rxfish Posted December 26, 2007 Report Share Posted December 26, 2007 The Lee pots don't offer an accurate temperature reading with the guage they have. In time you need to add a candy thermometer to get it spot on. Between the 5 and the 6 my pots read between 300 and 325 and thats with MF plastic. Sorry I haven't used the plastic you mentioned.
