Cormorant Lures Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 I am curious to ask if gold glitter will bleed?!? I was trying to inject white frogs today with gold and black flake from LC and before you know it, my white colored plastic turned yellow(ish) in a hurry!!! Calhoun's Soft at about 330-340 degrees in a presto pot... I would have normally thought that it was just the plastic yellowing, but it wasn't very long after I put the plastic in the pot the it started to turn color... I am thinking it was the glitter, but I figured I would ask... Thanks!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Prager Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 If you are not scorching the plastic, then it most likely the reflection of the flake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ute Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 I have had white with no glitter and never hotter than 315 degrees in a stirred Presto Pot take on a yellow tint in less than 30 minutes. I now only shoot very small batches of White. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nova Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 If you want to know which glitters bleed and which don't you need to take a small amount of plastic and a small amount of glitter and heat them.(no color added). And yes the gold is bleeding. That being said; the ones that bleed can actually be used as the main color. You can get some interesting results. www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
