Thanks, Hookset1 I have not used that brand of plastic,, but with Lure Craft you can shake or stir.Does not leave any bubbles even if you shake it up a lot..I add color to cold plastic,,then add Glitter & scent to plastic that is hot & at the temp you need to pour, meaning add at the very end, just before pouring.

GB GONE Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 Contact distributor directly on the plastisol as some brands need to be mixed gently, stirred a certain way or whatever. I have used Chemionics before so ask directly to get it from the horse's mouth on the prep for any plastisol. On the scent and glitter, add that after you have heated the plastic. On the colorant, go with the distributor instructions. There are some colors that absolutely need to be added to the plastic prior to heating. Most others can go either way.

jigtwins Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 I use the chemionics medium. I just shake the bottle for a bit and pour it in my pyrex. cook for 1 min intervals, and stir . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
