pouring plastics

Featured Replies

so I am new to the plastics pouring game and i am getting addicted rather quickly. The one issue I am having is with my green, I can't seem to get it to stay clear, it keeps clouding on me. I just started this weekend and i poured a few dozen motor oil baits that all came out great. I have tried 5 batches of green now, trying for a watermelon flake or watermelon red, but they came out clouded up. Can anybody help me? Thanks in advance!

Join Tackle Underground, they have a section just for soft plastics and there are a lot more people that can help so you will an answer quicker. As for the problem you're having, what type of bait and are you using salt? Salt will cloud your colors up, you could also be scorching your plastic, a lot of variables at play so you have to be a little more specific with things like your heat source.

I'M USING AN INDIVIDUAL ELECTRIC HOT PLATE AND THE DO-IT PLASTISOL, I'M ALSO ADDING 3 DROPS OF HEAT STABILIZER TO

EVERY 4 OZ. OF PLASTISOL. I'M HEATING TO RIGHT AROUND 325 DEG F, NO SALT, JUST SOME GARLIC AND ANISE SCENT.

The first time you heat the plastic it must hit at least 350*

Are you dropping the baits in water when you remove them from the mold to cool? If so dont.
