Troutfishing303 Posted July 25, 2019 Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 Hello, I bought a lot of glitter and hi-lite powder online and when I received them, some of the jars seemed kind of empty at the top so I weighed all my jars of glitter. If a jar of glitter is 4oz, shouldn't it weigh at least 4oz on a digital scale? Some of these jars I received are 3oz-3.5oz total including the jars when the jars are labeled 4oz. Any one else run into this problem? I found 4 or 5 jars like this and that's a lot of missing glitter and hi lite powder. Would you guys complain about this?

Basseducer Posted July 25, 2019 Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 I an into the same thing. I was told that the jars are measured by volume not weight, meaning fluid ounces. So now I buy glitter and hi-lite by the half pound or heavier and ask if it is weighed. Lure Craft seems to do a pretty good job on the heavier weights. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troutfishing303 Posted July 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 @Basseducer Thanks for the reply and explanation. It makes more sense now. I want to start buying by the 1/2 pound too but man, that's a lot of glitter lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted July 25, 2019 Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 Yes that is exactly right a volume is not the same as weight. Glow powder is heavy so you will get what looks like a half bag but the weight will be there. Most people that sell this stuff know there is a difference in product and price it accordingly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baitjunkys Posted July 25, 2019 Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 That said. a 4 ounce jar sold on volume should be full tho. Or close to it, Those jars are larger then stated for obvious reasons tho. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
