Hey guys...

My plastic sat over the winter in the garage and I didn't turn in upside down. My baits are coming out too soft and I'm guessing it's because the lack of hardner coming out into the baits. I shook and shook and shook the container but is that enough? Do I need to stick something down there and break it up? Or does the cooler temperatures have anything to do with it?

Sounds like it just needs mixed really well. Try to get a paint stirrer or something down in there to get the hardner mixed in better. Some brands and compounds of plastic need more mixing than others. The outside temp should have little to do with it. I have poured in 35 degrees before and had no softness problem. Get it mixed good and you should be fine.
