mark poulson Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 Adding soda blasting compound, instead of the sand blasting compound, does the same thing, only it makes a useless foam. Don't ask me how I know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodkaman Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 Mark - By soda, I presume you are talking about a baking soda, sodium bicarbonate type formula/product. This reacts vigorously with any acid. The plastic obviously has an acid content as part of its make-up. Dave 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 Dave, you are soooo right. When I opened the microwave I was shocked. It looked like the Blob coming out of the melting cup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basseducer Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 Should make a good floating bait. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Painter1 Posted December 25, 2015 Report Share Posted December 25, 2015 I think that power bait stuff is water based. Water of any sort does not seem to play well with hot plastisol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted December 26, 2015 Report Share Posted December 26, 2015 I think that power bait stuff is water based. Water of any sort does not seem to play well with hot plastisol. Yup.......sure is. One of the hardest lessons I ever learned! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joelhains Posted December 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2015 Yes it must be water based. Not nearly as dramatic a reaction thankfully. It could have very easily popped or exploded more violently than just the slow bubble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodkaman Posted December 26, 2015 Report Share Posted December 26, 2015 The beauty of water based is that it will infuse into the water, whereas oil based flavors will tend to repel. I see little point in locking up the flavor inside the plastic. Better as a dip before each throw. I guess during the actual bite, that the fish will get a taste that may encourage hanging on that bit longer. Dave 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted December 26, 2015 Report Share Posted December 26, 2015 Will a salted plastic bait absorb water-based scents? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
