Florescent Epoxy

[Jay Wirth]

Does anyone here know where I could find Epoxy paint in flo colors?

Flo Yellow
Flo Green
Flo Red

I have done a lot of searching over the years but am hoping to get lucky with posting the question here.

Tight Lines,

Never heard about that, but here's an idea just off the top of my head ...

Mix some epoxy, then add some flo powder paint

Might be a dumb question,but what will an epoxy do that a properly cured powder wont do ?

 

[Jay Wirth]

Epoxy will cure in a room where my wife doesn't mind when Im coloring some jigs....

Powder paint is OK but I have always used epoxy and is how I would prefer to continue. Currently I use buoy paint over a base of white epoxy. Brushing on by hand is not a problem and paint 25 - 30 doz at a time.

Lot of the crankbait guys spray with their favorite paint then overcoat with 30 min. epoxy. Mixing powder paint should work. Might be lumpy. Tried mixing phosphorus powder with clear enamel and epoxy and didn't like they way it came out...

Think Loon makes epoxy paint.

That looks like it will work. I'm going to order some but I'm waiting to hear back from them to see if they combine shipping.

I think you might be able to use the colorant for making plastics to color it. Pretty sure I saw someone doing that on custom rods.

I sent the guy a message last night and my order for 9 of the 10g of pigments. He sent back the invoice with a combined shipping for 4.99 so the whole order was 13.90. I will report back on how it works when I receive it.

SH - what are you going to mix the pigments with? I'm very interested in the fluorescent colors also.

Ronny - think I remember (say that a lot the older you get) a discussion on Tackleunderground.com about mixing the plastic colorants with Devcon epoxy for painting jigs.

Sonny I'm not sure what I'm going to mix it with but plan to do some testing with it. I know I'm going to try mixing it with clear nail polish and the gloss powder paint. I do use epoxy's on the crankbaits I paint so my try mixing the pigment with the epoxy.

Might want to check this loon outdoorsstuff out. It is powder that's made to be mixed with any type of cement. It looks like they make a glow in the dark powder as well. I've wanted to try some out, just haven't got around to it yet.

.....Might want to check this loon outdoorsstuff out....

The loon powder does sound interesting to get pearl effect and in 4 different colors, but $14+ for only a half ounce..... ouch! They have a video for how to use it, but it is all in black and white. :dodgy:

 

[creekychub]

Dang, that is pricey... I didn't even look at the price before.

I received the pigments the other day and only had time to mix a little in some old clear polish that was getting thick. It changed the color of the polish but didn't do a good job of covering the jighead. I'll try to get some pic together and post them. I'm going to mix some with epoxy too.

i find it interesting that they chose a black and white video for the video lol
