The Dude Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 I see that you can buy Berkley Powerbait and Gulp scent in bottles. Is this OK to add to you plastic as you pour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zbass Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 I may be wrong but I beleive that the Gulp liquid is a water based liquid which you won't be able to add to hot plastic. I have heard of people soaking regular plastics in the liquid though. Hope that helps and someone correct me if I'm wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeeterdan Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 Do not use Berkley powerbait scent in hot plastic. I tried lol. big mess. Only use oil based scents when cooking. I have used fish formula. there is garlic, shad and anis. I have also used YUM scent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWO Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 I tried adding Gulp juice to a batch of tubes - what a mistake. It did nothing but create a big mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bojon Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 Water based scents won't work with the oil based plastinol we use for lure making.Always think oil based scents when putting it in the melted plastic.Water base is ok for the cooled finished worms.I have used powdered dry shad,and coffee grinds mixed with safflour oil with success.I soaked the dry in the oil for days then drained the excess oil before putting it in my heated plastic.It worked,but was a lot of work.
