hkyluvers Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 Looking for opinion on the best plastic for making ultra clear baits I use supersoft now and when mixing highlight colors it seems to cloud up any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anglinarcher Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 I wish I could give you the solution, but ....... it is not so easy. Heat no hotter then necessary, heat slow, heat larger quantities (small half ounce pours scorch faster then several ounce pours), use the best quality of plastic (debatable on which one is best), and practice. Follow my directions, and you MIGHT get the results you want. I get good results most of the time, but it took me a long time to get it right. I heat in a microwave set at about 80% (1000W unit), stir often, but not so fast as to fill it with air (which causes bubbles and scorches faster). Who knows, there might be some other little thing that I am doing that I don't even understand yet. Ooops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryanmc Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 (edited) Try using 1 (or 2) drop of black to 4 ounces of plastic. It makes clear "clearer" Edited February 27, 2015 by bryanmc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camrynekai Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 "highlight colors" Highlights will cloud up a bait...that's normal. Try using a pearl instead (sparingly) it plays way better with clear baits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
