Husky Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 I came into the possession of appx. 30 lbs of used Calhoun plastic, some salted in MANY assorted colors. If I blend the dark colors and add black colorant, can I get a color that's near black? "Real close" is OK. FWIW These most likely will become Bluefish Chow and will be for "Personal Use".

Husky Posted October 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 So you won the ebay auction Husky? Were you in on it, too? I'm having a heck of a time, explaining to the Bride, why I still need more plastic! It turned out to be a VG deal. 9" Sluggo types sure can eat up plastic at a good rate!

maltrout Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 It will work just fine. I take all my used plastics and recycle them into black. The mixed plastics are harder to pour than new plastic, but its great to make jig trailers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasnt in on the bidding but I was watching it wondering how much it would go for. I have about that much laying around here. Was considering listing mine but I black is my favorite bait. And My son loves to pour if only I could get him to remelt instead of making new colors LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
