zx250 Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 After I am done pouring and my plastic is cooled my baits stick together. I am assuming that I need to use a worm oil? When and how much? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ipt Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 it really depends on a few things, are you using aluminum molds? certain other molds will leave a sticky finish. if you are using aluminum, they shouldnt stick together. make sure you are heating the plastic high enough and even enough (usually around 350 f) or they wont turn over properly into a solid when they cool. but yes worm oil in the bags is a good idea, a few drops per bag will be enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alsworms Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 Popcorn or powdered salt is another alternative. Shake your baits around in that stuff and you're good to go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anglinarcher Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 Of course we have not asked, is it sticky because you did not mix the plastic well enough before heating/pouring???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point. I assumed the plastic was mixed properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
