Les Young Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 (edited) Modeled it after Lurecraft's press. The baits & the press. I think it worked out pretty good& the press was free. Edited April 11, 2017 by Les Young 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saugerman Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 Great job. Good looking tubes too by the way. I can never get my purple glitter to stand out like yours. Mine always fades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McLuvin175 Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 What was that pressed used for before or did you do some horse trading to get one made for free? Either way its hard to beat free. Very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Young Posted April 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 (edited) I added glitter & quickly stirred after heating my plastic with colorant in it & it is craft glitter from Walmart. I don't use much of it, but I haven't had any problems when doing it that way either. Adding before heat can be another story on some of it as I have started with red & it was gold when done.

Saugerman Posted April 15, 2017 Report Share Posted April 15, 2017 When I have most of my trouble with fading glitter, is on the reheats. I try not to get the plastic too hot but heating the plastic over and over, and it will bleed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
