swedes67 Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 Is there a limit/guide line on how many times you should reheat plastisol? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toadfrog Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 Every time you reheat the plastic changes and the color will loose brightness or will darken . You can buy a heat stabilizer to go in it but that just adds cost. My experience has been about three times . Give or take depending on color . The best thing to do is only mix enough to pour or shoot for the run you are doing . Never take your eyes off the crap a few seconds fiddling around can result in ruined plastic . Goofed off and ruined some myself last njght. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEckl8321 Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 Just to follow this thread, has anyone used or had success/failures with Alumisol Brand (from Alumilite Products) Heat Stabilizer? I believe the per ounce cost is quite a bit less than LC, Calhoun's or others I have researched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chachybaby Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 I agree, my experience so far I noticed after about 3-5 times of reheating, (even adding heat stabilizer), my intial colour is much more rich and true the first few runs. After that it starts to get more dull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget to include shipping costs in your bottom line per ounce calculations! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Largehead Louie Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 I have been using Bear's Heat Stabilizer. In Spike-It Pourasol, a little goes a long way. I can put 6-7 drops in 16 ounces and reheat in the microwave as many times as I need to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEckl8321 Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 Thanks, guys, but I am SPECIFICALLY asking about the ALUMISOL product. Calhoun's, Bears et al are great products but I was hoping someone could tell me about any experience with IT! I'd like to hear before I pull the trigger and buy some.
