Thanks guys for your advice. I have alot of trial and error ahead of me. I am going to try some sticks with no salt or smaller amounts of it.

Just finished making my presto pot with mixer. I used the motor from a wooden pail ice cream maker. My buddy took it to the next level. He made the the paddle and connected it to the motor. Machined everything for me. Works great but I have some questions for those of you pouring with presto pots. 1. How much plastic do you whip up at a time and whats the least amount? 2. Pouring stickbaits with the 1/2 cup of salt formula, How much color are you using to get the darker tones? 3. Are you heating slowly or set it and turn it on? 4. Heat stabilizer. How much? I realized fast that I will need alot more plastic and color, not to mention molds. Used every drop of color I had trying to tint a big pot full of plastic. My 1 0z bottles of colorant won't do it.
