txhawghunter Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 Hi everyone, First thing, Ya'll have a great site here, been doing lots of reading. I'm new to pouring my own plastics. Just started about a week ago and thanks to all of you on this site, I'm already addicted! Started out with a real easy one, a two part POP mold for a skirted jerk bait. Still working on making the skirt better but I'll get there. Anyway, my color question is about motor-oil. I used to buy bags of motor-oil worms here in Texas at a local marina, which no longer has them. These worms were kind of brownish in the bag (like a dark pennzoil) but turned a green color (almost like Quaker State) when put in the water. Any idea how to accomplish this effect? Thanks, Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kajan Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 Just use Motor OIl colouring to clear plastic, will give you effect you are looking for. Bear has some excellent Motor oil. www.bearsbaits.com, I also like MF's Motor oil, but they bleed if mixed with other colours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powerworm Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 i use bears motor oil and i add a couple drops of red shad red and 3-4 drops of carolina pumpkin to the mix as well really helps boost the coloring i believe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gone2long Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 yeah I've also added a few drops of red to give my crawfish bait a little bit of a red hue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pitbull Baits Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Motor oil changes color when you add different flake. It is a changeable color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
