rocnet1 Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 I am using .062 large glitter from Lurecraft. I add my glitter just before I pour, but the heat curls the glitter. Does anyone else have this problem? Thanks, Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nova Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Happens all the time with any large glitter. I just go with it. www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pastorshane Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Lure craft, does have some of their large glitter that is metal and does not curl. I use their lg purple for that reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smallie Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 If it bothers you, you can try to control it by careful monitoring of temperature. I found MF plastic to get to my preferred level of "thinness" at a lower temperature than Calhoun or Lurecraft so I can pour at a lower temp.

TTDuckman Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 I have yet to see metallic glitter curl, not to say it can't, but it appears to be a more stable product than poly flake. The problem with metallic is that if you are pouring a one piece mold, it is difficult to get the glitter to suspend in the bait, rather than collecting at the bottom of the mold.

rocnet1 Posted February 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 I have been repouring the same plastic over and over. Today was the fourth pour with that glitter and most of it curled back out flat. Go figure! Thanks for the replies, Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
