Thank you for the explanation. Eric
The gentleman asked me by p.m. today to share how I put scale on plastic baits.You can buy the material Just about any craft store online There will be some pictures below.
This is a scale material that you can buy by the yard It's very inexpensive.
This is a little frame That we put the material on Take any powderColor And with a popsicle stick Put it on the scale material Impress it on your plastic bait.
The powder that you use To mix into your plastic Is what We use You can buy it in many different Colors now. After you put the scale on your plastic baits You have to dip it in clear plastic To lock it in Kind of a long process.
Thank you for the explanation. Eric

I put my mesh over 6oz plastic cup and held it in place with a rubber band. The cup catches the powder that falls through the mesh
We do the same thing but I put the little framework over The container I get it out of.We have some super bright pink Thinking about putting it on Pearl White.Also we have powder In Chartreuse Blue Purple In powder in pearl Oh yes orange Most of my powder is from F-m.We mainly order most of our supplies From them.
That bright pink on white pearl sounds excellent! I am gonna have to do the orange on white pearl as well. Probably should do a good run of white pearl so I can try all the colors I have

Bob showed me this process years ago. I built a similar frame and used the mesh from an old screen door. I stapled it to my frame just because it was more sturdy than plastic or fabric netting and I could get it tighter on the frame. Sometimes I still use this method on my own minnows that I handcraft but it can be very time consuming. The resulting look can be just awesome.
