Soft plastic changed color just by adding salt :(
Bass-Boys replied to Flymantex's topic in Soft Plastics
It has to be the salt ... the type of salt .. I Have added salt after I made a non salted bait a lot of times, and as Jig Man said it just needs more color when salt is added so I could see a couple more drops of black needed to get the smoke color. But I have never saw a bait turn blue when salt is added. -
Your posting this question in the wrong spot.. Ask in the Soft Plastics Thread below the Pinned topics. Anyway . put a very thin amount of Worm oil on the inside of mold before pouring.

I have lived in Michigan all my life and as a kid it was fun ,, but the last 20 years I have not liked it at all. It's been below 0 at night and 15-20 degrees during the day time - Sucks !

It can be done , but I would give it more than 3 months before I would quit my day job.

Yes 5" are apx. 11 grams -- Bryanmc I am sure you know that allready . I also do not use a 6" .

I do not think its a blending block,, its a lamination block,, but with Franks direction on temps it can be used as a Blending block. That's the way I am thinking anyway.

good to hear , thanks Les.

The early samples I got from Polysol maybe before Bait Plastics ? not sure . I did not like, baits got very oily after just a few days from pour date. Maybe they improved on that , they said they would work on it . I never did buy any at that time.I also had the Do-it plastisol get oily after they were bagged awhile. That was a few years back also .

agree.

220-240 seems pretty course for final sand to me ??

Travis,, Is that picture really from 2006?

After your mold is done, you will be able to make plenty more .

Electric Mixer for making cakes and such ! ? Just redesign the beaters . if needed. Use on lowest speed that will mix the plastic.

If you tug on the tails just shortly after unmolding you should know rite away if you have a good bond. That has worked for me anyway.

I think he wants to know what size -- ROD -- you used in the mold for the core shot ??
-
How are you heating plastic now ? More molds also lets some cool while you fill others.
-
To save money -- Yes that's why we all do it .. But it never happens !!! The price of a half dozen molds and supplies could buy a lot of baits !! We love it , that's why !
-
The stick bait mold would center the rod on its own way better than a swim bait mold ( without slots for the rod ). I feel a core shot swim bait mold would be way more cool than a stick bait with core shot .

I like a rounder body to skip. my self .. Stick bait ,, Ika ,, ect , no matter how it hits the water ( not flat side down or flat side on end ) the round stick bait type body will always skip nice , as long as its thrown tite across the surface of the water .

For me, I like to get the 2nd color to 350 degrees or a little higher .

The bond should be a temp thing . What plastic , can not answer.
-
agreed .
-
what plastic ...... well lets just say,,,, it's best to buy 5 gallon pails or larger containers .
-
You must buy" all" items in bigger bulk containers to help with lowering your cost . $48.00 per gallon is costly for just this 1 item .
