Salt sinking when pouring

Featured Replies

I am having a problem with all the salt when pouring. I use a microwave and pyrex measuring cup and then stir it with a spoon. When I get the plastic heated to where I want to pour it I stir really good and then the salt sinks to the bottom when I quit. Then the first half of worms I pour are super soft, then when I get down towards the bottom the lures are filled with way to much salt. Do I need to stir more? I use the fine salt from Del-Mart, it came with a package deal.

I don't know nutin about making worms, but I wanted to ask...

What else can yall throw in them worms? Do/can yall put in garlic seasoning and stuff like that?

Most salt is too coarse (even Del's) and you need to grind salt to a flour. (See the picture in the article on this site.) I sell a clear glitter in .015 that is used in conjuction with floured salt, which helps keep salt suspended in plastic and which adds weight. It's called sugar.

I've taken Senkos, cut them in half and felt the texture of the plastic/salt mix. I'm just about certain that GY is using the same type of glitter to do the same thing. The texure is very close. Sugar also allows more light to pass through salted plastic ;most Senko colors are completely opaque. I also use sugar in place of expensive white pearl powder to give the plastic the appearence of white skim milk. (Yamamoto color - cream white) Dynamite sub for pearl or opaque white.

The finer the salt, the easier it is to pour without settling. Of course stirring and zapping in the microwave is always necessary after the 3rd poured cavity, if the plastic starts to cool.

Will, I use popcorn salt and it seems to work well without grinding. Gobbledog, you can add tons of different scents and other things in your plastic, just make sure it's not water based or your going to have big problems

Also to follow what cedar said, don't ever put garlic salt into hot plastic. If you don't puke the first time, you will after five minutes. If there's anything that will deter the bite (and tick off your wife), it's burned garlic! :-[
