emptystringer81 Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 Im wanting to get started in pouring my own plastics. Im wondering if there is some sort of kit to get heat resistant glitter instead of having to buy each one individually. seems a kit with a bunch of different colors would be cheaper than buying each color.

Walking Dead Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 Contact Bug at Baitjunky's as he will work something with you on the glitter as well as other items. Great plastic, products, molds, and service! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jig Man Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 If you are getting in for cheap, don't go there. There is nothing cheap about pouring and all the extras that one needs to do it safely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is nothing cheap about pouring and all the extras that one needs to do it safely. I am going the other way (surprise!). Call Bait Junky and give it a shot. You have nothing to lose except your friends, your wife, and your sanity! Seriously, if you don't try, you'll never know if it's for you, and you'll always wonder "what if". Give it a shot, and, if you don't like it, chalk it up to experience and move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emptystringer81 Posted August 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 Thanks guys, that's not too bad right there at 2.70 a bottle vs 5.45 a bottle at bass tackle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 Maybe look at some posts about which colors to start with and save money by not buying a kits with colors you won't use. Spike its normal price is 3.45 a bottle no kit. And not much more for 4oz. Because I would want much more of certain colors and less of ones that are not used much.

edgecrusher Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 (edited) I guess the answer depends on how seriously you are taking it, if you are planning on going full Steam ahead, early on for me the baitjunkys kit would be a good start to cover bases as I have to have everything! I'll lay my cards on the table, I mainly use baitjunkys and ispikeit for colours, glitters, pearls etc. Both are excellent, both have different colour ranges in those products so you will find you will deal with both. Work out what your essentials are and buy them. Personally I consider 0.15 and 0.40 hex to be what you need starting out, string and square I hardly use myself, spread your colours, refine later on and get the less common ones once you decide you need em. Especially with glitter make sure you find out if it's a bleeder, bleeding red can make life hard on reheats for example, learnt that the hard way.

emptystringer81 Posted August 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 Thanks foreveryone's advise, I dont know if I need that much glitter, it looks like it's different sizes of each color. I also do custom painted cranks and make my own jigs so could use the glitter for everything. I'm excited to try different colors and see what I can do. Think I'm gonna get the starter kit from bass tackle with the 6oz injector. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassinfool Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 Early on I would suggest black, green, red, purple and blue glitter as your base and expand your inventory from there. For me, those are my main colors and have them in sizes .015 to .040 with a few select colors in .008. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
