emptystringer81 Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 Just wondering what plastisol everyone uses? Im kind of new to making plastics and have tried the Bass tackle MF, and the essential medium from doit. Im almost out of it and need to order another gallon. The only thing I don't like about the essential is it is not as soft as I want it and it don't float very well. I want something soft and floats good. I know the essential can be heated pretty high but just want to see whats out there before I spend around 50 bucks on another gallon.

The Dutchman Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 I have always used MF Super Soft because it doesnt cake like some I have tried.. Does Baitjunky's settle? Would like to try it but not if it settles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apdriver Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 Depends on what you mean by settle. Any liquid with suspended solids will, over time, stratify or separate. All you have to do to re suspend it is rock it back and forth. It does not hard pack if that's what you are referring to. Also, this stratification in my experience takes months.

alsworms Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 MF was the only brand I used that didn't settle......or hard pack (significantly)........if that helps. It might require a little shaking over time, but that's nothing compared to some other brands I tried through the years. I have a few gallons that have been sitting in my shop for a few years and they still look the same as the day I purchased them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emptystringer81 Posted October 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 does bait junkys have gallon size in the soft? I looked on their site and only seeing 6 gallon and sample bottles. Also when yall are saying the MF are yall getting that from bass tackle? Does bass tackle only have the MF? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Ray Posted October 8, 2015 Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 Yeah Baitjunkys soft is really good. It is cheaper than the other brands and I noticed that it doesn't yellow. I don't know about other guys but all the plastic I have ever bought from them doesn't really float. I am starting to think that it doesn't really matter if it floats or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ipt Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 I've used all the top big names, they are all pretty similar. That being said, I use BJ. Leonard is easy to get ahold of and easy to deal with. He also breaks his down into gallon jugs which helps keep them mixed well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't have the problem with MF, but with other brands I would transfer into 1 gallon jugs and that helped a bunch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
