texacan84 Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 I just purchased a bottle of heat stabilizer in a 4oz bottle from lurecraft and have never used any before. Can anyone tell me how many drops per cup? I'm using a microwave for open pour. Thanks.... George Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 George... That's very strong stuff. 1 ounce per gallon of plastic should be more than enough. Any more than that is overkill (unless you're doing continual reheats for tails and such), and stabilizer has a strong odor. You don't want that smell in your end product...... Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 Ooops..... Just realized you asked how many drops per cup. Sorry can't help with that one. I usually just kept a couple gallons set aside already mix with extra stabilizer........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassinfool Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 2-3 drops is plenty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archery1 Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 1-3 drops per cup should be enough.. heat stab. is great when ur making clear baits. i usually use additional 1-3 drops if i reheat plastic up more then 4 times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texacan84 Posted January 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 Thanks archery1. I was wondering about if i could add any during the heating process or if it was only adding it before you start seeing as i do reheat a lot while im pouring especially doing 2 colors. Thanks...George Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
