Baits very Grainy and weak after remelting plastic

That's what I was thinking too, but I didn't add any salt so maybe those two baits combined and melted has that much salt.

here is my advice, don't stir it at all. melt it and let it cool solid, then remove from cup and cut off the bottom 1/4" or so of settled salt.

now you removed the salt and you can remelt with good results but the glitter will settle with the salt so you will most likely need to add more glitter.

this is an easy much overlooked way to remove salt and glitter you dont want while retaining the ability to reuse 90% of what you are remelting

I also do this, when I want a bait that's the same color, but not as heavy as a salted bait.
