Kay, no probs, unfortunately I only have some green prosperous powder, will see if I can get hold of the place where I bought from for Tauruck on the previous forum, some years ago, they had blue and red prosperous power as well.

Will take some pics this evening and post them with the pics of the colours I played around with last night.

Dodger, I didn't mix in much of the powder but nonetheless, depending on how much light it is exposed to and for how long (in this case not much and not for long) it glows rather good.

Will deffs post pics tomorrow, just trying to sort out the desktop PC and the internet.

oooooooooooK

So I got the camera out, took the pics of the "glow-in-the-dark" lures and herewith are the pics as promised.
1st the three colours (fltr) Chartreuse Pearl, Pearl (no white colouring added) and Chartreuse
2nd these lures are naturally buoyant
3rd they do sink (slowly) but with a standard sized bass-hook, they sink at the perfect rate.

So here's the "glow-in-the-dark" ones

1st pic, lure with clear plastisol, yes it looks a wee-bit yellow, think I overheated it slightly,

2nd pic, the lure after some exposure with ze'torch
3rd pic, the same lure after roughly 8 minutes, no additional exposure, did not add much phosphor, stock a little low

I am definitely taking some of those glow lures off your hands when the paddle tails arrive! Those look AWESOME!

Thank Guys

Will see what the darker colours do, mixed up some black with phosphor last night (early this morning) but then the boss got a wee bit pset cause it was late

, so I'll hopefuly see how it works with the darkest colour this afternoon, I do have some white that I mixed sometime ago and it works great (still does).

Ok, injected the black "glow-in-the-dark" lure, and it works, not as well as the white or see-thru ones, perhaps because the colour absorbs most of the light that otherwise would charge the phosphor deeper in the lure, however it still glows, just not as strong and not for as long as the other colours

Also just wanted to say thanx to Spickerish, whom I met this evening and he gladly borrowed me some samples to assist with getting the colours right. Thanks a lot Buddy, it will really help a lot!

Not a problem at all, it's the

way, helping a fellow angler with his quest to give us the best lures! Can't wait to see the first samples!

LGF · « **Reply #51 on:** November 13, 2013, 10:55:12 PM »

Mixed a new whitish pearl and a chartreuse and injected it into a frog mold as a laminate, I got very close, but just need to add a wee bit more pearl and a couple of drops of chartreuse and it will be an exact match to the sample colours I got. Now once this colour is sorted and recorded it' on to the others, several of them. Will post pics soonest!

LGF you can maby save a bit. Just put glow in the belly and the legs. Those lures look awesome!

Ok some good news. depending on what you guys think, but, I managed to find the following:

Blue pearl as the white pearl I have do not have the bluish shimmer like it is supposed to also found a silver pearl.

Blue/or green UV additive, you guys must say if you would be interested? It looks "SICK" meaning good, not too sure if the fish will think so too, but the up-side is that it doesn't require "charging" like with the phosphorous "glow-in-the-dark" additive.

Then I also managed to get some Fluorescent blue, Yellow, Pink and Orange, colouring I don't currently have. This makes mixing the correct colours, say a pink or an orange extremely dicey and time consuming, resulting in overheating some batches of plastisol, which in turn changes the colour of the batch. Still hunting for a transparent orange.

The chartreuse, white, blue and white pearl is no issue, these I have managed already.

Lemme know what you guys think, please, I need to place the order?

Thanx Lenny, unfortunately I am still waiting for the US company to ship the molds, have placed the order but have not yet received a shipping/tracking ref number.

Believe me when I get them the pics of the molds and the first batch of lures will be up soonest, I am just as anxious to get them, been too long that the weasel worx didn't smell the fumes from heated plastisol
