loco Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 anyone notice how adding lure crafts white coloring to your plastic dramatically changes the texture of the plastic ? is it the temperature ? im trying to pour 2 color baits using white and the white seems more boyant then the other colors. not matter where i pour the white.....it it floats right to the top in the mold. strange....

alsworms Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 I had the same problem with white. Not sure what the deal was, but it wouldn't laminate well and it also seemed to shrink in the molds more than other colors. I replaced it with pearl white. If you are bent on avoiding the pearl effect, you might try just a drop or two of white with a pinch of pearl powder. Seemed to work for me.

whitey Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 It always seemed to pour a bit thicker than other colors for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDBaits Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 Ive noticed that too and just started using less white liquid coloring when wanting a pure white or i use white pearl powder instead which works out good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senkosam Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 The alternative is to use .015 sugar flakes and fine salt in clear. It's not a bright white, but more muted and adds weight when loaded. Both stay suspended in hot plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
