New to me Glitter

I finally got it in. Two 1 oz packs, but enough for a bit. Now if the weather will allow me to get in the shop...ha, ha...
This is Holographic Tinsel Silver Glitter. While looking at some pic's in the gallery on a mold site, I ran across some very interesting pics one of our members posted there. He described the process, what he used and, I believe, encouraged others to try it. I now have what I need to give it a go. Another day like today and I hope to be in the shop...I will give it a heck of a go, anyways..Attachment 513977

Yes Sir, hoping to get out in the unheated shop today. Thought yesterday I could, then ended up with Ms. Joyce at a dr.s appt. most of the day. Never did make it out there. Today, I sure hope to though....

Was a nice day today. Didn't get as much done as I wanted to, but at least I made progress. Still have to move the lawn mower out and then back in when I'm done, now for a few more warm days...Attachment 514035 Attachment 514036 Attachment 514037

You'd be surprised what people collect over a period of time and most of it you'll never use again I told my wife because we are in the process of trying to sell our property moved it did you know that we had five TVs she didn't even have a clue and of course a ton of stuff that we will never use again so we usually have a giant garage sale coming up I've been burning a lot of stuff long she doesn't catch me.

This is a 12'x16' double lofted barn style shed. Not over large to start with. I have vinyl wood flooring as well as some other sheet wood and dimensional lumber, a rolling tool box, 30 gal. air compressor, an 18 hp outboard, a vanity desk work bench, an old three sided kitchen cabinet from the mobile home, the cabinet on the wall, all the extra canning jars, electrical power tools, 2 sizes of dead Johnny the skeleton, gas cans, propane tanks, bicycles, as well as the 9' blow up pontoon boat, as well as my bait making, and rod turning lathe. Don't get me started on either of the two lofted areas...Just sayin'.

These aren't mine, but this is what I bought that glitter for. These are from CTOM on custombaits.com, also a member here. As soon as I can get in my shed, this is what I'll be working on.

You could say so, bob. Those are CTOM's. darcie1 wanted to see what I was doing with the string glitter, and I showed him what I bought it for. CTOM was the inspiration with these. I still haven't gotten to the shed yet. Raining here tomorrow, so maybe, just have to wait and see...

I really like the holographic silver glitters, use the tiny glitters in some of my lighter color powder paints. Looks like it would be killers in soft plastics as well. Really like how the finished ones look. Is that a 2" bait? I think a smaller one in the 1" range would be killer.

Hey Jim, Yes the one pictured is a 2 inch bait. Yes I really love the Holographic glitters as well. I played around today with 1/3 cup Dead on Plastic's jerk bait blend today, keeping it clear, no color pigment, with 2 1/8tsp of the string glitter. have got a lot of practicing to do. Spooning in the belly too then shooting the rest in is not so easy, for sure. Even scraping the bottom of the spoon on the Pyrex cup then going for the belly, you get some plastic on the machined mating surface that has to be removed before the two halve can be clamped together. I never got past this point today. Will try again tomorrow, and hopefully remember to take my phone with me...
