braveviper Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 A couple of questions.Can you use food coloring in plastic from LC?Does anyone use regular table salt? Which formula is most popular for stick baits the 502 or 536? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COBRA Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 i use 502 on sticks, 536 is super soft, i use diamond crystal salt, same you use for table, i never tried food coloring, i wouldnt either. it will boil and make your pyrex explode or send molten plastic flying, not cool. just dont use it.

See I feel 502 is too soft.Maybe a little hardener? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassnG3 Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Soft is good in my opinion, that's what gives the sticks the right amount of action. Too stiff not as much action. The reason I started making my own sticks was to save money because senkos tore so easily. Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthworm77 Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Take a look at Ozark Tackle. They make a very good plastic that I use over everything now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nova Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Does Ozark make the plastic or do they get from someone else? www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmik26 Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Braveviper - If you use hardener Its kinda hard to mix with plastic good. However I found a great way to do it. Take a old 20oz pop bottle and clean out good and let dry. Take some plastic uncooked and put it into the bottle, add harder, screw on cap and shake the crap out of it. Works every time for me...
