Calhoun Plastics

I ordered a 5 gallon bucket from Calhoun today and I must say they are very nice folks!

For those of you who are using Calhoun how would you compare it to Lurcraft's 502 | 536 | 500 in durability?

I pour saltwater baits and am currently using formula 500 and dont add any hardener....

Thanks!

If it is the calhouns handpour soft I would say just a bit harder than 536. I add softener to it and make it just a bit softer than 536.

I think it is actualy a better/tougher grade of plastic and not as fragile.

My opinion,
Jeff

The other great thing that makes Calhoun different is they will match custom plastisol formulas for you. I had them mix up a custom batch of tube plastic (55 gal) and all my tubes now have the perfect consistancy (no more mixing softner/hardeners). They also sell softner,hardener and worm oil at prices far below Lurecraft.
