stonecold13 Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 (edited) Hi every one there . This is my first topic in this site . I am Thai from Thailand , So my English will not be that good. sorry for that Since in Thailand we don't have any lure maker that produce soft bait. Now I am out of my job because I knew I can start this business . I sell soft bait for part time for about 3 years and all of those were import from America . I am now in the project of producing my own brand and also producing my own plastisol . Believe it all not , I have contact every plastisol maker in Thailand , They don't know how to make it that soft for fishing lure or I guess they do not want to waste their time . I am very lucky that one of my friend which are pvc expert agree to help me to do research on this . I look every pages here ,but no one talking about how to make plastisol . I knew every method for making them but the material is the problem my question here is Is anyone here know what is the plasticizer that plastisol maker use in their formula , both pathelate and non pathelate type , just any small clue will be great . Also I have attached my lure that I hand them out for my customer to test it , but I think the material is not well enough . I have to tell you guys that every part of my lure come from the knowledge form this website Thanks in advance Chong Edited May 31, 2012 by stonecold13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff@mf Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 This topic will be pretty much closed lipped meaning you will probably not have many responses with how soft plastic is made, very trade secrete. But when you find out you, expect to spend lots of money on raw material more than you can store in your garage...Good Luck! jeff@mf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carolinamike Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Chong, one of the more common plasticizers that I know of is D.I.N.P.(Di-isononyl phthalate). I also like the picture, is that a snake head? I hear that they're a great fish to eat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonecold13 Posted June 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Hi Mike . Thanks for the great information . It is a sneak head .This fish is all over Thailand , just like bass . They taste really good . The giant version of them could go up to around 20 pounds and that's the most famous gamefish for freshwater here .

ALADIN SPS Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 can i go to your country and visit you to make plastisol for me ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassinfool Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 Welcome to the site! For someone who doesn't speak/type English as their first language you do it quite well, better than many kids state side! Like Jeff said you're unlikely to get many responses here but if you do find the information you're looking for I wish you the best of luck! I've caught a few snakehead myself in the canals down in Florida and they're a ton of fun to catch and really good eating as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
