MonteSS Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Any approximate estimate on how much softener I need to add to one gallon of medium Calhouns to make it soft? Or should I just buy soft plastic. I will use it for heavily salted sticks. Thanks....Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jig Man Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 When doing heavy salted sticks the ratio I use is 3 oz of softner to 8 oz of plastisol. So I guess it would be 6 cups per gallon if I did the math right. 128/8=(16)x3=(48)/8=6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loodkop Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 My formula for sticks is 1 cup plastic, 1/2 cup salt and 1/4 cup softener. I use this a starting point and play around with the salt and softener to get what I want. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonteSS Posted March 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 I assume you are adding the softened to medium plastic. What if I started with soft plastic? Would solftener still be needed? Thanks....Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loodkop Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 Bill. Only you can decide how soft you want to make your sticks. For my personal use I would add softener to soft plastic but my Dad refuses to fish a worm that only lasts for one fish. I don't really sell but I have a couple of friends who buy from me and I have formula for each of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
