OK learning the hard way.............

Could anyone tell me how to get white stick baits with red(or any color) flake without the red from the flake bleeding?

I poured some to day and waited for the plastic to be almost hot enough to pour before I added the flake and "bamm" a funky neon pinky earthworm color. Luckily it was a very small batch and I will prolly use them anyway. They kind of look intriguing but still not what I was going for.

Thanks Blew

Use high temp glitters and/or don't heat your plastic so hot

Thanks for the reply s. I thought this may be a PITA problem.

Another question because I haven't tried yet but does the silver, gold and copper flakes bleed into the white? I know now that red and green do but..........

Thanks Blew

Unless you use high temp glitters and/or low heat on the plastic all glitters will bleed.

Remelts are the worse pretty much for any glitter unless you remelt your plastic the proper way.

The proper way to remelt plastic is to cook a batch of plastic then cut up the remelt plastic into small chunks, then drop them into the hot liquid plastic, stir it up letting it melt into the already cooked plastic, then heat it some more.

Anytime you remelt plastic and don't do it this way it could easliy burn and make the glitter bleed.

What is considered low heat and still pour able? I didn't think I had my plastics to hot but maybe I do I try to keep them around 340. Is this to hot?

Thanks Steve

To wear it will still pour ( I dont do the temp thing)

Also add your glitter into a cup just before you pour the bait. only use enough plastic that you have cavities for.

for example if you cook up a cup of plastic and have one 4 cavity mold, it obviously wont use all the plastic. so pour enough into a separate cup then pour your glitter in.

Hope that makes sence.

300 or a little less works for me right from the microwave and I get no bleed on the first pour, even in clear plastic. Lee Pot plastic temps vary unless stirred a lot.
