buy a gallon of Medium , it will not spoil and the cost on qts and pts are not cheap.

cool craw

adding a small amount more of softener should not add more chemical smell than it already has. also, back when I was racing slot cars in HOPRA & UFHORA the chassis on the race cars were plastic if we boiled them they would get softer if we baked them they would get stiffer it was different plastic than worm plastisol but mite be kinda where the hot water comes in ? I have had hand poured sticks with heavy salt that got firm after setting around , I boiled a few for 10 minutes, they were much softer after that, its been a while so I do not remember how long they stayed soft .

I would think ? that the 502 has some softener already in it .

X2 dawn dish soap and a pan scrubber, been using same Pyrex cups for 6-7 years. Only broke 1 when I dropped it on the cement floor. oopps, did have 1 break in micro a few years back when I tried heating up a cup 1/3 full of plastic that had been heated before and left to cool. Just stuck it in the micro with the cold cooked plastic in a solid pc. and that popped the pyrex. After that I always cut up remelts into small pc. and add some new fresh uncooked plastic and had -0- problems. knock on wood.

I do believe that hard sinks more than soft. when you get settling in your plastisol jug its the hardener that settles. but different brands float and sink different . adding just a touch of salt will not hurt.

thanks for the info.

Monte, whats your thought on the heat rating on the stuff from Michaels,, it looks great !

I have Dels mold that is just like the Yamamoto 5" in size

not sure if its still avail. but there is one for sale here in the for sale section. del's thing mold.

wow, that's a bold statement.. never any bubbles in any of those ?? I can not say the same.

Its awesome and fun to make and catch fish on your own baits. but Profit ?? !! probably not !

you mite be talking about the floating beads ?? but I would not be shocked if all Glass beads are very harmful ?

blasting media ???

Pyrex is the brand name.

glad to here this info guys ... thanks

how many of you guys always make sure the temp gets to 350? I do not and have not ever had any issues .. what do you all think ??

if you compared the same bait.. 1- hand poured and 1 injected... and the plastic recipe was the same for each bait then they would be the same. a softer bait most of the time has more action... a softer bait can be made either way too.

what will happen if you do not heat to 350 deg ??

x2

thanks guys

I figured it would be dels.. I have good luck with april @ delmart if they have the mold I get it with in 3-5 days. LC has one that looks close its not dels. they do not have dels in the catalog I have emailed LC already today with an order and requested samples of the 5" twins. do you have the dels mold in the link ?

what mold do you guys feel is the closest to Yamamoto 5" twin tail hula grub. just the grub not the skirt. thanks
