Scootalong Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 Looking to make my first large plastisol purchase 5 or 6 gallons. Who uses premium vs economy and why? Thank you in advance. Lots of very knowledgeable folk on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hpssports Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 I don't use a microwave for big runs so I just use regular. The only time I use a microwave is for small color samples and I still don't see any problems with it. Just stir lightly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am reading your reply as meaning the degassed plastic is best for microwaving. Is that right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that right? This is the argument. I use a microwave and my first gallon I used economy. I've never used premium but I didn't have any issues that I know of with my first gallon 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hpssports Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 I'm not saying that the degassed is best for the microwave. I'm just saying that you shouldn't have much trouble with the regular as long as you stir lightly. You're going to get some air in the degassed when you shake & mix it anyway.

Frank Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 There is no difference in the products itself. So premium is not a higher quality plastic jut one that has been put in a vacuum chamber to get the air that is attached to one of the products in the mix. To get them out on your own just get your own vacuum system and you will save every time you order. Plus when you mix it every time you use it you can vacuum it before use. Spikeit has the same thing on there site they just call it injectasol and pourasol. Pourasol is just vacuumed injectasol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gone2long Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 My take is this if you find one that reduces you from shaking it death from settling out based on your use then thats the one for you if the product requires you to shake the hell out of it every time you use it then home degassing is prolly a consideration you should make, but a good heating plan based on your micro's characteristics will pay in dividends in reducing the volume/chances of bubbles.

ipt Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 if you're using a microwave and want to make clear baits, either buy degassed or degas it yourself. dark baits you wont see a difference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrogAddict Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 Maybe it's just me, but I kind of like the look of bubbles in some of my baits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
