nedyarb Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 I have a question about whether or not lead will react negatively with plastic. I am melting the plastic and pouring over the lead and hook. Will the plastic become discolored? Thanks to Mark, I got my swimbait mold down.

JSC Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 You need to Powder Paint or Epoxy any lead that you are going to mold into plastisol. Yes you will get a reaction that will turn a milky white/gray to the plastic and a gray/white coating to the lead. JSC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
