New to soft plastics

I'm getting ready to start making plastics, couple questions I have is, once I cook my plastisol and it turns back to liquid to use, how long can you pour before heating it back up? Also when I reheat it does it have to get back to 350°? I've got heat stabilizer as well

350° isn't a magic number.  The mold and way you are delivering the plastisol can make quite a difference in the delivery temp.  I have open pour molds that go around 325° while laminating a small crappie minnow with a double injector needs to be around 375°.  You will just have to pay attention to how things play out.

 

When you reheat do it in short 30-45 second bursts.  The lighter the color the shorter the bursts.
