Still have it?

Agreed, I fish weightless as well. Very rarely do I use salt or glass for my own baits.

The larger media created weak points vs the crushed glass powder. The powder can make baits cloudy though.

I use these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XWKBLKR/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 If they arent in stock, then these: https://www.amazon.com/Pack-Heavy-Plastic-Reclosable-Zipper/dp/B003ZZY972/ref=sr_1_3?crid=2I1TJXP8ZAEWP&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.vsmluqejUPNgXwUfWP2panMcpibwx25BAqmQ2xXo-xwapQDogwxMl1xjLFvnOJeHoBsWZ7siDcjjgNwel-iAaC-TxiZ5oEAXUWtDA9Luwb1SFiR6fBUuEy77UCce67Dkdt0_lDOZp5BEiujAbNk9kQoQvgQ8HIifZ_hanrgBWQmmSG_Cs8RezpS9RNsgyINaLb3Ic_YtdDutEytZmTNsTLTtsNrOzA36HQru5dfoLw7JsIWUuWEDEGOZt0nhQOePXhmf-7K0wMEKN-iXBir0QL_bi2eOECY36gChNSr2JgY.xO9aRwbqO0sHPKxgJV6QnJPeMrl4UIsCNIdAStBzs3Y&dib_tag=se&keywords=6x4+bait+bags&qid=1709662500&sprefix=6x4+bait+bags%2Caps%2C83&sr=8-3-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1

Not a fan of their plastisol, never had good luck with it. I'd suggest a gallon of Bait Plastics 242, low bubbles and REAL forgiving to work with. Heat to 350-360, add colorant & flake, then make sure you are injecting around 315-330 deg. After you get your color & flake right, if you dont re-heat you may be shooting at too low a temp & the plastisol is too cool. You dont have to hold too long on your injector either, a few seconds is all thats needed. Top off the sprue and move on to the next one. I always put the cup back in the micro too, keep it warmer longer and allows any leftover bubbles to go away.

I shipped 2 dozen bottles of colorant I never used from NY to MI via USPS. I electrical taped the lids, put the bottles in plastic bags and left the air in for a cushion. I also lined the box with bubble wrap and paper. Never had an issue. I'd also be interested in what you have to offload. Praying for your health man.

Big scissors or a hand crank grinder. Hobo Freight & Wally world should have something cheap.

Ok, package came on lunch while I was at work today. I shot home quick, mixed the plastisol up good, poured a cup and popped in in the microwave for 3:40 total. I can say it's not not degassed, lots of bubbles. Not a big deal as the Calhouns/FGF flavor is much the same for me (it smells like Calhouns to me too). My degasser is down so I had to let it sit in the micro for a few minutes. most of the bubbles rose and popped. I also got 3 of their colorants (GP, Watermelon, Junebug). I chose Junebug, dropped 40 in the cup and it was thin, like.....MF thin. 90 drops to a cup got me the semi transparent Junebug I like for the Northeast. It has a little more purple than blue, which I like. The Em Grn flake picked up nicely. I cant say I WOULDNT buy it again....just wouldnt be my first choice of plastisol. I'll shoot the GP and Watermelon this week and post up those pics. Sorry for the blurry one.....phone wouldnt focus. My prefered plastisols in order are still: 1. Bait Plastics Low Odor 2. Calhouns/FGF 3. Dead On 4. Ozark Tackle 5. Do-It I havent tried MF, Lureworks, Barlows, or Lurecraft yet.

I ordered a quart of medium to test out. I'll pay close attention to bubbles, smell, clarity, shift if color when cooked, & strength then report back. Im still hard pressed to find one I like better than BP 242.

BP sells crushed glass. Works good for me and doesnt weaken the baits as bad as salt.

Clouse Outdoors on Ebay. He makes them.

I used 20 Redrum and 2 M-F Indigo (I know, not DoP), try Electric Grape in place of the Indigo. If you dont have it, Junebug or Blue should get you real close.

Has anyone used this companies plastisol or colorants?

Jacobs Molds. Just make sure you buy the injector adapter too. https://stores.jacobsbaits.com/

I run 142, 212, and 242. Never had a problem with either. Great products, great customer service. As for the crawfish scent....I just tried the Do-It Hog Sauce (crawfish) and its pretty good.

Yessir, good stuff. Plus, they have a few colors that you can ONLY find there.

I've been looking for a decent recipe for CC lately. Definitely going to pick up LW version, but it's fun to try and color match. You mentioned you got close with 2 red/3 brown pumpkin, I may try it, also with BP Flo-Pink to see if it gets me closer.
