The Dutchman Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 I have always used MF plastic in SS five gallon container. No problems. I was thinking about trying Calhouns.

Cormorant Lures Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 I have always used MF plastic in SS five gallon container. No problems. I was thinking about trying Calhouns. I use pyrex and Mike my plastic. For those of you that have used both could you please comment on them. I am still quite new to this AWESOME hobby, but since I have used both, I'll go ahead and throw in my 2cents anyways... The first plastic I used was Calhoun's Soft Formula and I purchased it in a one gallon jug... I used a microwave and pyrex and found that Calhoun's caused ME micro-bubble issues... I cannot tell you if they were caused from me, the microwave, or the plastic, but the bubbles I had from Calhoun's were bad... I am using MF Regular in a five gallon jug as we speak... I love the way MF pours and cooks in the microwave... I have had NO micro-bubble issues with MF, BUT MF's odor is terrible!!! At least for me, the odor is almost unbearable... I use respirators and have ventilation, but the smell lingers and will hit you as soon as the respirator comes off... I love MF for all of it's other qualities but the smell... In between Calhoun's and MF I bought into Caney Creek's pre-buy on their new "Crystal Clear" plastisol... I used one gallon of their soft and absolutely LOVED IT!!! Hardly any odor, pours GREAT, and has no hard packing or micro-bubble issues... Their plastisol is also "Green" which means its "Phthalate free" (a nice bonus)... Their plastic is a little pricey, but the old saying goes "sometimes you get what you pay for"... Again, just my 2cents... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chachybaby Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 just starting out , only tried the Caney Creek new crystal clear in regular, but its pretty awesome stuff. Easy to work with, very clear, very little odor, cooks great in the microwave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
