Yardape Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 Besides hardener how can you make your plastic firmer? Will adding salt firm it up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toadfrog Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 I did an experiment some time back with powder paint as a color pigment . The bait was tough . not as shiny . Might try clear . see what you get . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smallie Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 Yes, Salt will stiffen the bait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t-billy Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 Salt will stiffen the bait,but it won't make it more durable like hardner does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yardape Posted November 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 I have a flapping craw trailer mold that when on the back of a jig and swam through the water the arms will fold back too far causing the arms to become entangled. I need to firm up the plastisol to gain a little separation between the arms, thanks guys for the replies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 Also remember that the arms will sink when adding salt to them. Now that I think about it, that might not be a bad idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
