drof99 Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Most of you know I'm new here. Some have seen my first pour and gave me some tips. Well I've done more pouring and really enjoy it. I've got 2 molds now from Del and another one in the mail somewhere. I plan on doing this for awhile. I've been doing a lot of reading here about different plastics. Been reading the best plastic thread. I saw some posts about samples. I've still got the original gallon from Del, which is Calhoun but wonder about some of the others. I don't really have any issues with Del's but would like to see some baits of the others. I'm in the market right now for 5 gallons. Do some of the suppliers still offer samples? How does one go about asking for them. I'm sure they get these requests all the time. Probably from some that never have any intention of buying from them. I'm not in that place and don't want to come across as such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Prager Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 I think if you call them up and talk to them, they would send a small sample (pint) if you pay for shipping. Everyone I have dealt with in this business have always been very helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 You might also try buying something else from them, say a few ounces of glitter and some color. Then you could say "I'm not currently using your plastic, but I'd like to try it". Most would be willing to toss in a quart or pint with your shipment. Good luck!

Poor Boy's Woman Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 I will be happy to send you a sample of plastic if you place an order. Also, we are coming out with a phthalate free plastic the first of the year (more inviromentally friendly) and would like for you guys to try it and give us feedback. Anyone placing an order, please request a sample of the new plastic to try. Thanks!!! Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RipLip Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 KIM, I wish I would have known that. I just received an order from you yesterday. Hopefully I can try some of that new plastic because I would like to get more towards the "Green plastic". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nova Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 Kim; Is the prep routine (heating, etc) any different with the new plastic? www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poor Boy's Woman Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 No, you heat it the same way as normal. The only thing we have found is the baits may be a little on the sticky feeling side until they cure for about 24 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bass-Boys Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 Kim, Jeff Here (Bass Boys Baits & Curtis Grocery ) this sounds great.. is it avail. in all 3 formulas ? as Nova asked. mix & heat is the same? colors & softness are the same? what about cost compared to the others?

Poor Boy's Woman Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Hey Jeff!!! Yes, it comes in all three formulas and they are as close as you'll ever get to the current formulas we have. Colors and everything stay the same. We have been testing it since the first of the year and the baits are the same today as they were the day we poured them. The cost will close to the same as what it is now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GB GONE Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 I will report on the "green" 502 as I have a sample in the shop. Of course, I can't remember what the "original" was like so I can give you my impressions and those that used the other can compare!

outdooradvantage Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 I made some baits with the new 502 plastic from LC a week ago the baits are fine. No smell or stiffness to them after a week of sitting:yay:. The only thing I noticed was there was a bad odor when I was cooking it. I dont think I burnt it and I will try it again just to make sure. I will let you all know on the next pour. Other than that:yay:. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Sock Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Kim, Looking forward to trying it out, will place another order soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
