nova Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Sounds like straight clear plastic with floured salt. Comes out like frosted windows. The only glitter I could use with this was silver and/or silver holi. I found that other glitters would bleed color into it even at lower temps. It doesn't take much of a "bleed" to discolor the bait. Hope that helps. www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nova Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 (edited) My comment about bleeding glitters is not a knock on anyone's product. It's just that I find all colored glitters tend to let a little of it's color into the plastic. You can make a nice light smoke stick buy using just black glitter and you can adjust the color by increasing the heat. Gold glitter gives an interesting color almost honey-like. Red will give a rose type color. I haven't got any chartreuse glitter but I can imagine that would be nice as well. The colors you can get are not strong colors; they are almost like a pastel or soft color. Give it a try; experiment away. That is how you will aquire more understanding of the product and just what can be done with it. Using the stabilizer will help with the scorching of the plastic. I don't know that it will help with the bleeding. www.novalures.com Edited June 25, 2008 by nova Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
