Fishermanbt Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 I will be getting a gallon of regular mf plastisol for Christmas. Never used it before so I’m wondering how it will behave with my setup using a microwave. Over the years I’ve used do-it’s plastic with good results. Am I good to go with the age old initial 350 degree mark and 320ish there after, or am I in for some headaches? i contacted mf manufacturing but I suspect that they are busy filling orders right now.

bryanmc Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 You should be fine with those numbers. MF is all I use these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaBehr Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 (edited) I often use MF...especially the new Easy Float Bounce and I take it to 350 to start. http://www.pouryourownworms.com/BOUNCE-SuperFloat-Gallons-BOUNCE-Gallons.htm I love that plastic and it really does FLOAT ! I use it for my drop shot, Shaky and Midwest Finese baits. Edited December 21, 2017 by DaBehr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishermanbt Posted December 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 Thanks for the info. I also received a follow email from the company that provided me some guidance. I do love me some good customer service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaBehr Posted December 22, 2017 Report Share Posted December 22, 2017 I really don't know if it is as durable as another plastic. All I can attest to is that so far...it is good enough ...for the baits I use it for. That being said, I molded all my new Basstackle swimbaits in Do-it Essential. That stuff is tough! I doubt the is a plastic that works best for all applications. The MF bounce does float like a cork! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrogAddict Posted December 22, 2017 Report Share Posted December 22, 2017 I used their bounce plastic and poured some Caney Creek frogs. They didn't float a heavy gauge 4/0 EWG hook but they had a super slow sink that I think will drive the bass crazy. The guys at MF told me to let the plastic "set up" to get the ultimate floating characteristics. It still didn't float the heavy gauge EWG hook but it was darn close. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark poulson Posted December 23, 2017 Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 My youngest saw the subject line of this thread, and read it through social media eyes. I had to explain to her that MF is a brand of plastisol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishermanbt Posted December 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 Yep, I can see the confusion there now. Well played. Man I’m getting old. Just hope I’m not using the social media version once I get started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazy bait Posted December 23, 2017 Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 (edited) I have used a lot of mf with very good results if you're wanting a sample from them contact them they will gladly send you a sample of what ever you were wanting. they are working on something new issue probably know some of the fl orange fl chartreuse will settle in the bottles from most manufacturers mf is working with a new one it will not settle we are getting a sample here shortly will try to give a report on it when I receive it.

Frank, Sorry for the delayed response here but I'm talking about MF super soft. If you buy the 5 gallon size, it comes out to $28 per gallon.

SpoonMinnow Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 That is a great price for quality plastic! If I ever started selling lures, that would be the way to go. Fortunately a gallon lasts at least a year or more if I add a little to reheat used plastic of which I have a ton. Too bad it all looks like watermelon or green pumpkin with flakes!
