    Anyone use hi-lites in your plastics? I saw some on a web site, and was curious about what it looks like in the plastic. Any info would be appreciated!Thumbs Up

    I have messed with it a little bit you will really like it and if you start using it it highlights your plastic bait the way I used it was I used a green and then I highlighted it by dipping the bait.

    Add it TO the plastic, start with a match head size. You will like it I promise if you use it right. add the blue to a light hot pink mix and its very close to morning dawn color of robo worm.

    It adds a sheen to the surface of the plastic. I've only used blue, violet, and gold.

    you dont dip it, its a dry powder. it would look at about the same to dip it in to baby powder. When mixed with plastic it gives off a contrasting to color. works best on dark colors but it can be used on about any color with varying effects. Its made to be mixed, not just in plastic but paints as well.

    Ok....this is what got me confused on the dipping. Maybe Bob was talking about something else or another product.
