UV enhancer

[EZPZ21]

Got it !!!!!! Thank you very much !!!!!

The above link takes you to the product made for inluding in plastisol.  Aerosol and dip would be for using on finished lures. 
It took me awhile to find it originally because it's NOT under the UV-Glow page, but under the Lureworks->Pigments/dyes section.

Jerry, since Component Systems has UV Blast, any chance we'll be seeing a UV additive for plastics?

More likely a HUGE chance...

Jerry , are you telling me to wait to get it from here ?
because I like everything else I get from here , and am confident in using CCM/DO IT products
any time frame?

[Jerry V]

I don't have a time frame, but I'm pretty sure it's been actively discussed, and I'm relatively certain it will happen.  It's just a matter of getting it right before we throw it out there to the masses.  I'll let you know what's happening as soon as I get more information.

Thanks Jerry, I'll save my pennies.  Hopefully CCM will have some hilites by that time too.

[Jerry V]

It wouldn't surprise me a bit if that wasn't part of the package as well.  Please be patient, and we will keep Y'all posted.

Thanks,

Jerry

I am about to go shoot some Wutz Its and want the UV stuff in there for Saturday.  I am tempted to just pour a little bit of the CS stuff into a small batch of plastisol and see if it works.  I think it's oil based, so it should work.

X2 on the HiLites!!!  I've learned a whooole lot over the last 2 months or so, and now see that HiLites are what's missing from my stash of components.  I've mixed alot of batches of some CLEAN colors since I've been doing this, but the HiLites are another Ball Game.  If You just want that "pearling" on the "skin", HiLites are the answer...thank You, Mr. Tom Sir!

Jeff  --  I think the CSI uv enhancer lure overcoat is water based.  Jerry might could clear this up.  Be very careful. 

[Jerry V]

The liquid Seal-Coat with UV Blast IS a water based product, but the UV Blast Spray bottle is an acetone based product.  That makes it dry quickly and makes it convenient.  The Powder Coat with UV Blast is the same active ingredient mixed with a clear powder coat.  Probably won't hurt anything except for the added "gunk" that you may not want in your plastic.  Any of these products are not really intended to be mixed with plastic.  CS Coatings is working on the right mix of the active ingredient with inert ingredients to make it user friendly for what we're doing.

I've already sent Jeff a PM to alert him of this.  He'll be fine.

Here's pic showing some sun involved with the uv enhancer. The minnows aren't a Caney mold but this pic shows what goes on real nice. All of the plastic and colorants are Caney products, except for the enhancer.



The top two baits are made for this with left-over plastic and both have the same plastic batch shot into the bellies. This thin white pearl has uv enhancer in it. The bait in the center is shaded somewhat by being where it is, while the top bait gets just a shot of sun. The bait in the middle actually depicts the "real" color very nicely...the color you'd see in your house or under artificial lighting. The bait at the top is being hit by low angle sunlight [pic taken at 7:30 am this morning]. If the sun were high overhead, the pearl would be so bright you'd have a tough time looking at it. The pearl here has no additional pearl or hi lite added nor has it any glitter. However if you look carefully at it you may be able to pick up on just a hint of violet on the bottom edge of the top bait....that's the violet part of the ultraviolet coming out of the enhanced plastic.

I have a chartreuse transparent thats been enhanced with this product that does just about the same thing in sunlight and if I can round up some scrap from that request I'll shoot another pic using it to help show more of how it works.

I ordered some UV powders that are invisible till they hit Black lite they will change from a white powder to the color of choice once I get them and have time to shoot a few I will post pics

Man....even a little bit of this stuff makes a washed out white a "mega" white. The pearl used here is thin if you see it in hand.
