  1. All the plastisol products that I have read about and have used require at least one heating to 350*f for virgin pure plastic to get the chemical reaction and consistency. And that needs to be an accurate temperature measure while stirring. Are you sure your 325*f heating is not causing a lot of your issues? Plastics wise . I would try pouring again in a proven mold with hotter plastic and add some stabilizer to see if things improve for you.

  3. I still use belt and drum sanders but like my rasp for the final shaping before sanding. Even on small 1 1/2 trout lures Maybe I am just strange and have been doing it this way so long it just feels right. It has definitely become efficient for me 4) well it’s great that there is YouTube as resource for people to learn but some definitely need to expand beyond it In the whatever works and gets the job done is the right tool in my opinion

  4. I can think of a few reasons. 1. Many don't have much experience with them. I have several older Nicholson, half dozen Iwasaki, and a few riffler (budget) sets but enjoy woodworking. 2. Power tools are used in their place. An oscillating spindle/belt sander combo makes quick work for many or dremels. I turned a spindle with proper cove dimensions on my lathe for several balsa cranks I was making and then glued sandpaper. Could go from rough out to finished blank very fast that way with balsa. 3. For most bass cranks or topwater baits the size makes them sort of less ideal but still doable. 4. Youtube... so many build a bait however "Guru X" makes a bait.

  5. NO - Make sure to warm your Injectors & Laminating Block also. Plastic solidify/hardens quickly in a cool laminating block.
