Has anyone used the Powder Water from Columbia Coatings mixed with PP for the eyes? If so, how does it work?
I originally heard about the stuff at Tackle Underground and contacted Columbia about it. It does work but it can be a real PITA - you don't want to mix more than you think you'll use, and you'd have to have separate containers for each color. Just as in dipping you have to watch how much goes on or it will smear out, run/trickle so it takes getting used to. Maybe if you had an eye dotting machine it would be easier. Component Systems (CS) makes paint pens that you can do a clear powder coat over, and then cured as normal. Several folks I've talked to like them.
I've personnally found the stick on eyes alot easier to deal with. There was a group buy on the other board and they went through this guy but not as an ebay sale, Tying Material, Jig items in Fishing store on eBay! These are the 3D molded eyes, and if they'res a color you want and can't find send him a message and ask! Thats how the chartreuse and pink eyes started getting made. And they're way cheap, compared to the cost of some others.
Thanks FM, yes, I've ordered from Lifefly before and will again.
