Plastisol Formula

[robalo01]

I'm in Mexico and I have a hard time importing the soft plast Plastisol from the States -- the logistics are rather expensive. Does anybody have a hand-pour soft plastic formula that i could use to order the stuff down here? I have contacts that say they can put together just about anything. I just need to know what to ask for exactly.

you may be able to look it up on google, no one that maufactures it will tell you whats in it.

You may want to try to get ahold of scott over at sr plastics he makes the california swimbabes stuff in mexico, he may or maynot share the info on how he gets it hrough

DONT Smuggle it in Gas Cans south of the border either cause if you get caught its big time fines and jail time

The problem isn't that it's illegal to bring in. It's just a pain because it's not a household product, so it has to go through an import broker. The mimimum broker fee is $50 + incidentals + two shipping charges (one to the border and one from the border to here). For a bucket or two of plastic that could take about two to three weeks to get here and, when you calculate everything, it can cost an additional 60% over the original store cost. I'm looking to source this here to avoid all of this.

I found this on Google what do you think?

As small quantity such as this may be mixed with an electric cake mixer or by hand. Commercial quantities should be mixed in larger, planetary mixers such as are used in bakeries.

This product is fluid and may be poured into suitable molds. Heating the molds to 350 degrees F. in an oven will fuse and harden the plastic. There is little shrinkage and the cast objects have life-like feeling. Molds may be of any material that will stand the curing temperature.

you might wat to look into the post office, sometimes(but not always) the post office is cheaper and less hassle to ship over seas than UPS and brokers.

canada, south africa australia and every other country has tarriffs and tax's, the post office for some reason doesnt charge those or at least full rate.

[robalo01]

Yeah. I've been doing this for ten years, and one thing I've learned is that, short of bribing people, or commiting some kind of fraud, there's no getting out of going through a broker with any kind of chemical that's not a household product like a detergent or something like that. I know sometimes on your side the post office seems cheaper, but when it arrives here, they won't deliver it until you hire a broker, register the importation and pay the fees and, ofcourse, the fines for not doing it the right way to begin with. In short, these are "non-tarrif trade barriers." I'm looking for a way to source the stuff here.

Or,if anybody out there is looking for a distributor in Mexico, it might be cost effective to import a couple barrels.

Here's an off the wall idea. I am not sure how far you are from the boarder. If you can get a PO box in the US and have it delivered their. Then drive it across or walk it.

[robalo01]

Thanks for all the advice about how to get the stuff from the US to me, but, frankly, I'm pretty much well informed (maybe more then most the people in this forum) about how to get things impoted from the US to here. My question was "Does anybody know, or know where I can get, a basic idea of a formula for having this tuff mixed for me here?"

I am a legit business and I for purposes of VAT, I need to import legally. "walking it accross the border" doesn't allow me to show the expense of my raw material, and, if that weren't enough, there are laws againts SMUGLING CONRTABAND!

That sounded much more sarchastic that I intended. It's getting late. Sorry for the attitude,guys, I know you mean well.

Stephen For someone who owns a bussiness in mexico your the first honest person I met ( thats a compliment).

I am guessing the only way your going to get the answer on a formula is to do alot of searching, No one ( manufactures) will tell you how to make it.
