It's the Spike It Junebug color. It does it worse with the emerald green glitter. I found out that the D0-It X2 Florida Grape is a close match to the Spike It Junebug & doesn't blue the glitter as much.

Calhoun or Polysol. Last I checked Calhoun was $550 per 55 gallons & Polysol is $595. I personally like Polysol over Calhoun.

Paper towels, pam, & lots of work.

Enforcer makes this thinner swim bait in a couple of sizes. https://www.enforcerbaitmolds.com/product-page/sel437-swimbait-top-shoot-soft-plastic-bait-mold

The Do-It 2.5" Swim Fry is a great bait. Caught lots of fish on those.

If you're in Canada, try Enforcer molds. They have a great selection & also located in Canada.

Try injecting at 320 & purge the injector before injecting.

Looks like plum, just like this one.

They carry quite a few pearl ex colors. The orange & green make great looking crappie baits. Adding a little purple to Junebug really sets it off.

Get some pearl ex green-purple duo powder from hobby lobby. It makes a great aquamarine color.

The pearl x powders work great. Use quite a bit of it for crappie baits.

Yep, the initial temp is still around 350. What we do is heat up to 350 & back off the temp to around 275. Once it gets to around 275 we start injecting. We haven't had any issues with glitter suspension but we also haven't tried to inject anything over 320.

We've injected some at 320 with no problems but at 270-275 it sets up faster so we can demold quicker.

You need to keep in mind that it takes less hardener to get the plastic harder than softener to get it softer. With hardener you're adding resin & it doesn't take much. As for best plastic, everyone has their favorite. I used to like Calhoun & MF till we switched to Polysol. Polysol has a lower melting point & makes it harder to burn. We've went from an injection temp of 320 degrees down to 270-275 degrees with Polysol.

We order 55 gallon drums from Calhoun @ $550 plus freight. Don't know for sure if they sell it in smaller quantities. They may sell 5 gallons.
