shastaron Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 Has anyone tried Alumidust in metal lead molds like a Do-it Minnow Head mold? What kind of luck or is the lead just to hot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcool3 Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 Has anyone tried Alumidust in metal lead molds like a Do-it Minnow Head mold? What kind of luck or is the lead just to hot? probably not as you would like it. Alumisol (plastisol) is clear, so the colors of alumidust show through even if submerged. Lead is not clear, so no go. Also alumidust is basically colored micas. Some colors may be stable at high temperatures, some may not be. A solution would be to mix alumidust with etex and paint it on. Or, cover jig with etex, wait couple hours until it is tacky dry and sprinkle or brush it on. In both cases, prime jig with white first. Colored micas are used in casting sculptures, ladies make-up.

Kasilofchrisn Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 I think Powder paint would be sifnifigantly cheaper than Alumidust. Is there a particular aspect of the Alumidust that appeals to you? You could also ask the question on the Alumilite forums and get the manufacturers answer.
