alsworms Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 I know I'm getting old, but I'm lost here. LOL What is it that you're trying to do? Do you mean pre-mixing the 2 in plastisol? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockslide Posted May 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 im trying to turn my powder into an liquid! everytime i use hi lite i end up adding softener Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nova Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 How much highlite are you using? You only need a very little bit for an effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockslide Posted May 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 for veins i make neons! so an dash each ounce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 Nope......still not gettin' it. LOL Seriously, like Nova said, very little hi-lite is needed to create ANY effect; veins or otherwise. I couldn't imagine adding so much hi-lite that you're concerned about it hardening the plastic? Maybe I'm on another planet here.............

rockslide Posted May 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 what i wanted to do was add my pearls an hi-lites to a bottle with softener in it so i could use drops an not spoons. something like what mf does with his silver smoke pearl. what i needed to no is if the softner would have any bad effects on the hi-lite. i guess i will find out soon enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSC Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 Worm oil will work as well for a carrier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 Worm oil will work as well for a carrier. And then you can control the softness separately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ipt Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 worm oil will act as a softner if im not mistaken. its a plasticizer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 Ahhh........makes sense now. Yup.....as the guys said, I'd go with worm oil. Cheaper and easier to work with overall than softener, and it DOES soften as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
