fhsfish Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 I'm looking to pour some clear worms. However I seem to be having some yellowing issues. I'm using caney creek crystal clear regular and as I heat it it turns to a yellowish orange similar to a motor oil type color. Is there a way avoid this and keep the plastic clear?

alsworms Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 I know nothing about Caney Creek plastic, but most plastics will yellow over time with high heat, re-heats, etc. Assuming you are not overheating or burning your plastic, add some heat stabilizer and you should be fine. Most companies who make/sell the plastic also offer heat stabilizer. Remember that a little goes a long way when adding that stuff. About 1 ounce per gallon of plastic should be fine. Good luck!

toadfrog Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Shoot it at as low a temp as possible . But actually your best bet is to switch plastic . Use the CCM for dark colors . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The heat stabilizer fixed my problem. I borrowed some from a buddy that pours and it worked as expected. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt - NC Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 OK. Here's the deal. I just spent time deleting childish posts that were totally unnecessary. Take your bickering somewhere else. Warning points are being given right now. Further foolishness will lead to temporary suspensions. If that doesn't fix things, permanent bans will be put in place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
