Mixing glow in plastisol Nn

[liftbite56]

Noticed that the powder glow doesn't want to mix well? Find it settles and doesn't mix well any tricks
out there? You may not see it if you zoom in you can see the clumps or
lumped clouds of
glow powder

Are you mixing it in cold plastic? I have glow but haven't used it but do find hi-lites at times don't want to mix thourouly. When using powders I let sit in the cold plastic for 20 minutes or so with an occasional stir.

It's a phosphorus powder, and it's VERY heavy. Only trick is to get your plastic ready to go and stir stir stir.

Thanks guys. It does go to. Bottom of Pyrex stirred but not enough never had this issue with hilites

I just had a thought some type of sifter fine screen

that won't affect how heavy the powder is. thats the reason it is so different than a hilite powder, it is physically heavier and will settle to the bottom of the cup rather fast regardless of what you do with it. You literally need to stir this stuff constantly, stir it up and shoot, then stir again before you shoot your next mold.

try putting it in a salt shaker. you wont get an exact measurement that way, but you can shake it on to a piece of paper to see how many shakes it takes to fill a teaspoon, half teaspoon...whatever it is you want to run. this keeps the bigger clumps from coming out at once, and allows you to stir smaller, more finely spread amounts into the plastic. just my 2 cents. brian

I like the clumps, gives it a different look.

Like it is set above the pigment or powder is very heavy you have to keep stirring which pigment are you using or should I say glow powder .
