BobP Posted February 18, 2019 Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 I don't know a current small batch source but I believe the specific product name is cellulose acetate propionate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bladesandbaits Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 I need to get on the ball and find more. Roger Gruvso (Swede) God rest his sole, sent me a great amount of it years ago. I use it when I'm repairing and reserecting old wood lures for people. The stuff Roger sent me is really good quality I know it won't last forever ..... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have searched for it not so long ago but I need to resurrect my efforts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hazmail Posted February 26, 2019 Report Share Posted February 26, 2019 (edited) I could never get Propionate here years back, so I used to dissolve cheap reading glass lenses in lacquer thinners ( Acetone is quicker). With thinners it takes about 3 days to dissolve, if the lenses are broken up. These plastic lenses are made of a form of propionate which is very clear, and hard!! I eventually was sent a 1 pound bag of granulated Prop by ''PhilB'' about 10 years back, still have a small amount here somewhere. A little bit goes a long way, 4-6 lenses dissolved would make a pint of lacquer - also it needs to be agitated a few times per day until it is dissolved. Pete.
