smallmouthaholic Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 heat it up in a pyrex and let it set to cool, the salt will settle to the bottom take out the cooled plastisol and cut off the bottom 1/2 " of the cooled plastisol that will get rid of most of the salt, not all but most. Did you see if your finished baits float after trying your method proving you've removed all salt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bass-Boys Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 no I have not ever tested it that way.. If I need 100% salt free baits I start with fresh plastisol and do not add salt.. but for some guys that do not buy plastisol in 5 gal or larger & not wanting to waste plastic they can cut off the salted part. and as i said it will get most of the salt out but probably not all..

smallmouthaholic Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Your method will not remove all salt and the baits will sink. I 've tried that before and was never successful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bass-Boys Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 I asume, but have not tested this.. that some of the salt mite disolve in the plastisol and stays suspended much beter than the salt granuals ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassinfool Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 Some of you guys must be using a lot of salt in your baits. I use a very small amount of salt per cup of plastic for my baits and they are still fairly buoyant to the point that they practically suspend in the water column and the claws of my craws stand up off the bottom. As for the injection problems you're having, this mold was a bit tricky for me as well when I first got it but once I got it down I shoot perfect baits nearly every time. My mold wants the plastic a bit cooler, around the 320 or 315 mark and I tend to inject slowly and then hold pressure for around 20-25 seconds before topping off and letting the bait cool in the mold for 3 minutes or so.

Uma62 Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 I have been shooting this mold a lot. And I found a cooler mold did not have the dents.But the hotter it got the more dents I was getting in the bump on the claws.Not real big dents.So I try to shoot a cooler mold.
