nova Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 You sure it's bleeding and not the heat that turning the plastic? www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Bait Co. Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 It might be the glitter and the heat. Mine turned my emreald green with purple holographic flake ribbon tails. Into a emreald green that actully turns to purple when move them around then turns back to emreals green. I actullay like it and I have sold a hundred now. I found if I turn the heat up a little with the purple hologaphic flake it bleeds and mixes in with the plastic. So it might be a little of both.

King Bait Co. Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 what kind of glitter do you got. I switched to the purple Senkosam's has and it doesn't bleed as bad as my other kind did. I am going to order some more glitter from him. I have some other colors that bleed bad. I think I will have to try everybodys glitter to find the colors that don't bleed.

Senkosam Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 Note: maroon (fuscia) and violet are not stable above 320 degrees. I've tried MF and LC (purple is grape) and find that a lower temp and mixing in flakes just before the pour maintains plastic color integrity.

RedFin1 Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 Guys, I am new to the pro-flake glitter clear coat. I was wondering if I apply it before I cure my jigs or after I cure my jigs? The directions say for an extremly hard finish cure jigs for 20 min @ 350 but wasn't sure if it was with the pro-flake glitter already on it?? Thx for your help Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDC Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 Hey Redfin You should dip your jig in your color then return to your heat source for a second or two then clear coat and cure. After both coats are on they can be cured at the same time, just make sure you have nice thin coats or they will sag. try posting this question over in 'wire baits' I'm sure you'll get more responses. Senkosam is talking about flake in plastic baits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
