anyone have a formula..

[floridagrimp]

 * for spike-it's nite glo powder or any other brand (white w/kind of greenish tint)?? 

*also, the UV liquid, anyone know how much do you add to your pours??

[ctom]

On the powder, I'd start with about 1/2 tsp in an 8 ounce batch of clear plastic. If you add it to colored plastic think about about adding a bit more. Mix the 1/2 tsp per 8 and put a drop on the back of a mold and hit it with a charger to see how it does in the dark. Adjust from there.

The uv plastic additive I use about 10 to 12 drops in clear or light, transparent colors and in white, oystershell or pearl.

Just don't sneeze into or spill the glow powder. If you do your life will be on the eeire side for a long, long time....experience here.

Thanks ctom, I love to fish niteglo...day, night, doesn't matter.  You can put different amounts to create the amount of glo you want.

*** I like to load 'em up..you know it can help ships navigate safely into harbor with your bait as a guide in fog, or rough weather conditions...wait, that's just not right.

Never thrown the UV product...but trust me, it's hot (selling) at the wholesale level..

Ctom, should read your post earlier about "not sniffing" around the niteglo...I snorted about a teaspoon thinking it might "light up the night" w/ the wife , if u catch my drift..I'll report back tomorrow with results...in code of course.

Now I have coffee running down my monitor screen.

Well? Did it help you see what you were getting into? Nochest pains today I hope?

No chest pains...try and do 45 minutes of cardio at gym a day...so that's not an issue...sometimes you just have to "stir things up'..thought glo powder might be the vehicle. Backfired, as she thought she was sleeping with a ghost as I lit up room all night!! 

Talking about nite glo..it does take quite a bit (I am pouring  alot of it). I need to get it in larger quatities instead of by the pound. does it work in remelts w/dark colors??

[ctom]

I've done the remelt with plastics having glow in them but I don't do any plastic that is dark with glow. Too much light gets blocked to really charge the depths of the bait up and thats what gives the glow baits their umph.

How 'bout Glow with Flake and/or a little HiLite Powder or Pearl Powder?  ...sparingly, of course...

[floridagrimp]

Glo, UV and other speciality type powders/colorants are expensive. I need to get source for buying mucho niteglo...don't know how big an item UV is going to be yet...developing...

[ctom]

Actually Gary in a transparent plastic some flake, not tons, might help to a degree by reflecting light given off by the glow pigment from within. Hi lite andd pearls might bend the light given off a bit, but there I haven't done anything and can't say one way or the other.
