mark poulson Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 Why does hilite powder seem to migrate to the surface of plastics when you pour them? Is it squeezed toward the surface during the cooling, or is it just so strong that it only seems to migrate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 Hmmmmm.............never heard of that one, Mark. The only thing I can think of is maybe you're using too much? Or maybe it's a brand problem? I only used LC and MF hi-lites, and both worked equally well......... It should give a nice hi-lite effect throughout the bait...............

mark poulson Posted April 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 Al, I'm just wondering why it has such a strong effect. I use a match head in a cup of plastic and it seems to dominate the bait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nova Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 Powder is made up of flakes and because of that the highlite at the outside of the bait (against the mold) will lay flat and show more surface. Where the highlite in the rest of the bait will lay at differant angles and not show so much surface at any one time. Sounds good , eh? But this is just a guess I mat be way off.

Makes sense, or as least as much sense anything in the crazy hobby makes! Hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nova Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Highlites can be a bit much when you first start using them. It's like anything; it takes a little practice and experimentation. Personally, I like using them but it took a while to get used to them. What colors of highlites do you have Mark? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
