GB GONE Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 Have you guys seen the flake from this site yet??? http://www.ozarktackle.com/glitter.html 2oz is only $2.60... 4oz = $5.00... Bob has listed the temperature distortions for each flake as well. I have not tried this flake yet but will have some samples soon. Frank (Senkosam) is still my guy for flake as well as Del, M-F and LC but it never hurts to have another option available. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senkosam Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 Hey, the more sources of supplies the better! The better the product that meets lurecrafter needs, the better! Thanks for the new source Jim. I might even try their purple at 350 to see if it's colorfast (as long as it's not LC's blue grape). You're right about kelly green being the color different manufactures of June Bug use. It's the brightness of the green that works in blue grape.

Predator Bass Baits Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Those temps are right up my ally, wish that would have been found last week, free shipping as well for over $50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millsryno Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 It's too bad he has square glitter. I'm not a big fan of it. Hopefully he gets .040 hex in stock! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senkosam Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 My glitter will not hold up to temps over 325 or to three or more reheats. The mass producer needs higher temps to save time, prevent bubbles and save on energy. I don't have those problems because my temps are kept around 300 degrees or less. (Jim, get a flat rate envelope for $4.05, ship me back anything that is unusable and I will reimburse you for the product and shipping, no questions asked.)

Predator Bass Baits Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Frank, I did not mean that towards you at all, LOL, I like your glitter,or I would have sent it back like we discussed. I just do not understand how you can pour at 300, I know I cant, but i am a newbie as well and you have been at it for awhile. I think with LC plastic I could pour at 300 but with cal(del's) I cannot, I need to get cal plastic up to above 370 to pour worms. Your glitter works well for me I am using it as added color from the bleeding because of the high temps. I still want to get more of your flo-chart. I have a sample of M-F plastic coming so I am hopeing I like it. Customer service rocks and so far Frank(senkosam) and M-F have stood up to the plate.

Senkosam Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Thanks for the well informed reply and demonstrating the use of some glitter that does bleed. Remember our long phone conversation about making a chameleon watermelon (watermelon with violet or maroon flakes)? Well, I've found other chameleon combos just by heating plastic to over 340 and letting the glitter color tint the plastic. Use enough fine glitter and you don't need dye. Question, if you heat clear plastic twice to the temp you normally get it up to, does the plastic stay crystal clear? I've always had a problem maintaining clear plastic after I reheated it to 350 - 360. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delw Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Glitter that bleeds is a good thing in certain situations, I still have a bunch from lure craft and m-f that I use for certain colors just because it bleeds. it gives off some colors that you cant get anywhere else.
