Munro76 Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 Who has used alimidust on their soft plastics? Does it come off if you rub it? I tried using pearl powder plastisol colourant the same way and it was quite hard to rub off. I was wondering if it was similar stuff. Thanks guys.

Anglinarcher Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 Yes, I have had and used Alumidust from when it first came out. If you use a silicone mold, you can paint the inside of the mold with the dust, then pour your mold, and it is permanent and looks great. I have not tried this on other molds. If you add it to the soft plastic when you mix is it looks great, and is permanent. If you brush it on to a previously molded soft plastic, it looks good, but is not glossy and can be rubbed off with work. If you brush it on and dip the bait in clear hot plastisol it become permanent and glossy. You can also brush it on, then take a hot torch and kiss it with the flame until it glosses and then it is glossy and permanent. You can go through the videos on the Alumilite lure making site Makelure.com to see some examples of it if you want. https://www.makelure.com/store/pg/54-How-To-Videos.aspx#prettyPhoto 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
