I'm wondering if I can melt down my used plastics and re-pour them? Not sure how remelting the plastic will go? Anyone do this and have any helpful input?

Yes I do. You can do it in a pan with a hot plate. You can do it in a microwave with a pyrex measuring cup. You will need a mold to pour the plastic into.

When you mix colors you normally get green or brown. Don't use scented baits like gulp.

I suggest you go to www.tackleunderground.com and look up don'ts for newbies in the soft plastic forum.

Perfect Thanks. I have most of the stuff just wasnt sure about remelting. It seems like a waste so I figure I'll make trailers

MMan yes this is very easy to do. If you run into any troubles you can PM me and I can help out

At one time, I never through any soft plastics away - I'm Scottish

I would sort them into storage cans and when the time was right, I would wash them in a mild dish-washing soap, lay them out to dry on paper towels, and then remelt them. If I recall, the remelts were not as transparent as fresh plastic, but they worked great.

I didn't know bout stabilizer's then or I would have used it.

Tip: if your doing small batches, use a cup or pan to match the volume of your job. Also, when you have leftover plastic in the pan, let it cool into a small flap-jack that fits nicely into a sandwich size zip-lock.

Thanks for the help guys
