Walking Dead Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Need opinions please. I have new "virgin" plastisol but have a chance to pick up a large lot of new plastic baits in some good colors. My thought would be to purchase these baits and "remelt" them into the molds I use for fishing. I figured I would just add a small amount of new plastic, nuke, and inject. Any issues I should avoid? Are Salt Water plastics shot any different than freshwater? I figure not other than colors and any additive if used. Have to ask the pros though. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walking Dead Posted March 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Thanks very much. I might try a couple before I buy big lots of them. Have the stabalizer on hand. I only do small amounts for me and a couple friends. Just liked some of the colors to use as highlights. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassinfool Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Don't remelt power bait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Adding some virgin plastic to remelts helps them to work. Heat stabilizer is important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishon-son Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 yep stay away from all powerbaits or anything like them..i dumped a nice large box full of that stuff into the trash...I good friend asked all his other buddys in his club to save all there plastics after the season was over he handed me the stuff for remelts..must were powerbaits..he just wanted to keep them out of the water..and from the bass..i was surprised at all the powerbaits people used..i asked the same question a while back......wash your plastic and let it towel dry for a week or two...make sure no water gets mixed in...

Bassinfool Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 I'd like to know what is in power bait that makes it such a volatile remelt. I know it becomes one nasty, boiling cauldron of hell fire if you do try to remelt it lol. Learned that the hard way last summer remelting a bunch of 10" power worms we'd torn up on Carolina rigs.
