Aiden James Lures Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 It takes a while (1 week) for my lizards to stop smelling like plastic. Is there a solution you can dip/soak them in after they come out of the mold to speed up the off-gassing process? The bass don't seem to mind the smell, but I do! I'm not burning them or getting any smoke, and there is no color change on the clears and whites. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kajan Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 What brand plastic has that smell? I have smelled some that smelled like vinyl. I forget the brand. I don't know how to get rid of the smell until lures are 100% cures, but you can mask the smell with scents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bflp Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 I'm glad you asked, I was about to post a similar topic. I have also found that if I put the baits in a bag before they fully cure, they retain that smell for a while. Do other brands of plastics do that? I've noticed it with LC's plastic. I don't think I had that with MF's, but I don't really remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slammingjack Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 Some plastics seem to hold that smell longer LC is one that smell hangs around a week or more. CCM does not hold that smell very long and not as strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
