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.Quote:

It adds a sheen to the surface of the plastic. I've only used blue, violet, and gold.
Thanks guys. I'm gonna order some and see for myself. I'll let you all know how it goes.
I have all the lurecraft highlight colors I haven't had a chance to try all of them yet but I think you will like it.Quote:

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.Quote:

I'm sorry if I confused you but you do mix the powder like Keith said into plastic and then dip your bait is what I did I do not mix it directly into the plastic to shoot I like the finished better because it is clear and shines bright sheen to it when I dip my baits it just that different method of using it I'm sure Keith is right I have never mixed it directly into the plastic.Quote:

Good example would be an earthworm in the sunlight. When the light hits it right you see that green or blue sheen. I have probs capturing the effects in a pic.
A good example is the blue glimmer found on kaylins grubs and some others. All it is , is a white plastic with the blue added to the plastic to give the blue skin color.
what you guys should post some plastic baits with highlight .

go to the other post on highlight I explained myself little bit better maybe originally I confused everybody by not explaining myself thoroughly sometimes my brain is not working:confused:
Its even more confusing on the other thread. I think you need to start over, lol......but anyway the highlight looks good, just can't figure out how your doing it.
