MuskyGary Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 I have about 40 plastic lures I want to try and put eyes on. Never done it before. I have a hot plate that I want to lay a alumiun sheet on to put my pyrex cup on to keep the plastic warm while I dip the eyes with a clear coat. Will this work or will the hot plate cause me trouble? Thanks, Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Look at some of Franks video tutorials. He uses hot plates. Actually I use griddles so the pyrex is not in direct contact with the heating element. I think you are on the right track but you might want to watch the temp real close. I believe the hot plate will get to a higher temp so try and not burn the plastic. I usually dip at least that many and never have to reheat.

Im working on crappie baits, so got to be careful not to get my hands to close to the hot plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 I dont know if your baits are already done but I do mine right after I finish pouring so I dont have an adhesion problem. Just food for thought. Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
