bass ackwards Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 I need the pros advice! I am ready to order plastic but am not sure which company to go with.

Tm Customs Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 I think most people here have found Dlew's calhoun plastic to be very good quality at a great price 75- 5gal. I would go with that and if you just want to tru it out first a 1gal in only 20- Tm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KickerWormz Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 I have used several plastic companies in the eleven years that I have poured. When I first started pouring I was using MF plastic. It was 35 bucks a gallon, but it was at a tackle shop 5 miles away from my house. MF is costly. MF is decent plastic but does not take high heat well. I then tried Lurecraft. The plastic and I didnt get along that well. It yellowed under heat easier then MF. Lurecraft was cheaper but by the time you added Lurecrafts shipping, I might as well go to the tackle shop 5 miles away and get the MF. I then saw the light, Calhoun. Calhoun was cheaper in price, even with shipping. You can really crank up the heat with Calhoun. Even with the higher heat you still get crystal clear results with the lighter colors. The smell to me is like candy, not bad at all, it also doesnt smoke as bad as others. Hope this helped you somewhat. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodsac Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 If you are new to pouring, look in the 'How-To' section. I put a very basic tutorial to help guys just starting out. At the bottom of the article, there is a list of suppliers. Take CJ up on the offer. It will save you tons of time and headaches learning from someone else.
