    Sometimes I do and is because my plastic wasn’t hot enough. If my tails are freshly poured I don’t use school to clean them. If my tails have been laying around for days I use alcohol to clean the oil off that the plastic has secreted. I get my plastic around 360 when shooting a body onto a tail. I make sure my injector is a little warm so that it doesn’t cool my plastic off. When I shoot I make sure I hold pressure. As you can see in the one pic I posted I stretched the bait twice it’s size and tail didn’t pull off.

    Got a new white colorant from Dead On. Their colorants are weaker than what I'm use to but I like the effect I can get with them. This white is toned way down and 30 drops were used to get this effect. Need to try dialing it back to maybe 10-15 drops to make it more transparent.

    Never underestimate the power of a little pearl with flake. Switched up colors of flake I usually use with just pearl and backed off the pearl and added 5 drops Dead On white.
