texasbass1 Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 Nope I didn't. I guess I should pay closer attention to the time line. OH, I'm sure it's still true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bass1cpr Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 Stick~em. I've been pouring since 93 and I remelt a lot of the plastic baits I buy. I always add a little fresh plastisol to the remelts. Some off brands of plastics that people have given me come out a little tacky. These were bulk type plastics. V&M also come out tacky I figure this is because of the pork fat in the V&M. Mostly I reuse Berkley and Zoom. The colors will change a little with some of the remelts but they still work. When i remelt Zoom stuff there is always a little salt left in the bottom of the pot. I'll add a little glitter as some of it will also settle out even with stirring. The baits are pleanty soft and seldom need addditional softner. I use two lure craft mixes of plastisol 502 and 536 and MF pastisol which to me is softer than the lure craft. I don't retail my baits but I do have quite a few folks that I pour stuff for. They are all happy with the baits I make. Laminate colors are the only ones that can't be remelted unless you want some really unique colors. LOL Solid colors are the easiest to reuse. I know for a fact that some large companys do use regrinds of solid colors from reject quality production runs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
