woodsac Posted February 19, 2004 Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 Andrew, start with this thread and then search the 'plastic' archives if there's not enough info here. http://www.tackleunderground.com/board/viewtopic.php?t=1784 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trick trout Posted February 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 thanks woodsac, i went to the link you sent me to and then to a link on that post and finally one last link and i found the right post and i know exactly what i need to get. just not sure in the post what redgator is talking about with ucd pigments. i may sound dumb but are those just basically to mix and match you own colors? thanks ( i needed that alot) this is the post that redgator was talking about ucd pigments http://www.tackleunderground.com/board/viewtopic.php?t=421&highlight=paintagain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarshManiaC Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 TackleCraft sells pre-colored plastic. I have some and use if for some of the more-poured colors as it give me color consistencey. They don't have a website yet (I'm gonna have to work on that). but you can google them up and get a catalog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarshManiaC Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 Yanno you're right!!!! Chalk one up for licking the window sills coated with lead-based paint!!! I got their catalog from checking a clearinghouse site for tacklemaking supplies. Anyways, I did "google 'em up" and found that they are in-process of getting a site up....at least I think it's them.
