I am new to pouring plastics and thought I had read up on it. My problem is, no matter what time frame I use, my plastic never gets to a gel or lumpy state. It gets clear, then if I keep going it gets yellow and burnt. I am using a 600w microwave, any suggestions? Here is the formula I am working with:
1/2 cup Calhoune plastic
1/8 cup Calhouse softner
1/4 cup salt
I mix the plastic and softner at the start. What am I doing wrong? I am trying to pour stickbaits in a 2 piece alumnium mold.
