worm Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 Guys Im new to making plastic baits and need some help. I have 3 different presto pots with mixers (Bears). I turn the mixers on and turn the pots on high, before the plastic cooks it turns hard and stops my mixers. I used 2 different types of plastic with same results. I ended up using my microwave to heat the plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basseducer Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 Try putting in the plastic and turning on the mixer. Turn your heat on at about 200 on the dial. Then gradually turn the heat up till you reach 350 constantly checking the temp with some type of thermometer. You may bee applying too much heat too fast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gone2long Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 (edited) Yep sounds like your causing the entire batch to convert at once a slower approach will allow the plastic to transition at a controlled pace. You can only speed things up so much patience is a virtue. Edited April 9, 2016 by gone2long 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
