Many here know that I am a big fan of using the pearl-x dry pigments for brushing some of my soft plastic baits. Probably as many wonder just where in the heck these pearl pigments can be gotten and in fact they can be a tough product to get hold of. I found a web site store that offers the pearl x goodies by the single 3 gm jar so a person can get specific colors without having to buy a set of colors, something pearl-x [Jacquard] is good at.
https://www.artmaterialsonline.com/pigments/pearl-ex-pigments/This link is to a Twin Cities business that offers the pearl-x. I spent about two hours nosing thru the different sections last night and have to say that this business has its act together when it comes to offering variety, not only with the pearls, but in the air brush/paint areas and many other venues that can get pulled right into tackle crafting. If you enjoy stepping a bit outside of the norm when making your plastic baits or perhaps airbrushing some custom bait bodies, this may be a fun place to check out. I see a ton of potential here.
By the way, these pearl pigments aren't just great for brushing on soft plastic. They are fully compatible with the plastic and its cooking temperature range and they mix right in raw plastic. They are potent and they are a colored product so some care has to be given to how much you use if you want to get a simple "hi lite" affect but they also can be added a little stronger to make some really out of sight pearl color plastics. These are
not the simple colors of pearl powder and hi lite powder sold in the Do-It store or other plastic related websites, but they are simple to use and can really expand how your plastic colors can be created.
