wildtail97 Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 I am wondering what heat stabilizer does? And where can I get some? I have not found what I am looking for yet. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gone2long Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Del has it so does Lurecraft and Bears? are you looking for something special? Not trying to be funny but it does just that, helps prevent scorching when you pour hot (the upper reaches of your plastics range) some folks like to pour hot when they have small details to their bait also when pouring a large batch that will be cooking in the pot for some period of time helps as well.

wildtail97 Posted May 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Sorry I was looking at Bears and couldnt find it, I do see it on Dels. Do you know if heat stabilizer helps with disoloring clear plastic? We want to shoot clear but after a reheat it gets a little yellow. Will this help me?

gone2long Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Don't be sorry thats how we learn here by asking. But I'm sorry cause I can't answer that yet as I have not poured a clear run yet. Someone will chime in I'm sure. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zbass Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Yes it will help with discoloration due to heating of the plastic. Not a lot is need depending on how much you are pouring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delw Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 (edited) Heat stabilizer will help your plastic from discoloring to yellow if you keep you plastic on or in a pot for more than 20-30 mins. the smoke your seeing on plastics is the heat stabilizer burning off. it usually burns off with in 30 mins so you need to add more. every 45mins -1 hour. it only takes ver little, a small cap full in 2 cups of plastic will work. all plastics have different amounts of heat stabilizer in it in a microwave it doesnt make much difference unless your doing reheats. as you pretty much pour most of the plastic all ready. however when doing reheats you wont have discoloration if you reheat correctly and thats cooking fresh plastic then adding your reheat stuff to cooked fresh plastic.

Pitbull Baits Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 For some reason when I add heatstabilizer it seem to bleed of the green dye off my flake and turn it blue. Then my purple flake seems to bleed a little to when I add it. Maybe its just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
