is dry a second coating or layer 30 consisting of a mixture of a binder such as polyvinyl alcohol and a slurry of micro encapsulated liquid crystals is applied over the layer 28 by dipping or spraying preferably the micro encapsulated liquid crystals are formed by mixing various proportions of encapsulated cholesteric esters including cholesteryl nonawate cholesteryl proprionate and cholesteryl isosteryl carbonate the esters are preferably encapsulated by the gel and gum arabic method the gelatin is available from dynagel in chicago the polyvinyl alcohol is available from dupont in delaware and the cholesteric esters are available from pressure chemical company in pittsburg after the layer 30 has dried it is covered or overlayed with a coating or layer 32 of clear waterproof sealant material such as a crystal clear acrylic enamel or a clear lacquer after the coating or layer 32 is dried the decorative paints are applied over the coating 32 to form the eyes 24 and scales 26 the layer 32 has a thickness of about 0 001 inch the temperature sensitive or responsive micro encapsulated liquid crystals within the coating or layer 30 are formulated to change color within a temperature range from about 34 u00b0 f to 90 u00b0 f preferably the range of colors produced by the liquid crystals include the colors of blue red green blackish gray and milky white the coating or layer 30 has a thickness from 0 004 to 0 006 inch and two layers 30 or a double coating may be used if desired the coating or layer 28 provides a dark base or background surface to provide a contrast for the various colors produced when the layer or coating 30 changes in color as the lure 10 changes temperature with the changes in the temperature of the.
