aulrich Posted June 18, 2019 Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 So I have been having trouble getting plastisol from my usual supplier has had trouble getting plastic across the border (the standard Canadian problem) and to get me over the hump I have to break down and get do-it plastic I have plenty of heat stabilizer and softener but it is the alumilite version can I get away with mixing and matching brands.

mark poulson Posted June 18, 2019 Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 (edited) I would contact Alumilite and ask them. Or just cook up a small batch with each to see if they play well together. Edited June 18, 2019 by mark poulson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand In that volume the shipping cost/gallon is minimal. and there would not be a problem, at personal use level the shipping nearly doubles the cost of the resin . In general for personal use tagging onto the store order up until this order had worked great this one has just gone sideways. (the fist attempt there was some sort of new regulatory chemical ban so the whole shipment was turned back, the next was no french labels). A son of mine has dreams of during semi-pro :) so eventually we will need to figure out how to get larger volumes. Right now we are in learning / development mode so we just need reliable and not too expensive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baitjunkys Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 I was shipping 6 gallons direct to canada for 50.00, aka Ontario... I would check with Lureworks, as they ship worldwide. I bet they can get you taken care of. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aulrich Posted June 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2019 I am out west and maybe that makes a difference but One site I tested wanted the better part of 300$ for shipping for 1 5 gallon pail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baitjunkys Posted June 20, 2019 Report Share Posted June 20, 2019 I would dial their number. The shipping bots are generally extremely inaccurate when shipping out of the country. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aulrich Posted June 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 Heard back from one so far, it's not cheap but reasonable. it goes to show it pays to contact a real person sometimes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troutfishing303 Posted October 4, 2019 Report Share Posted October 4, 2019 I too would like to know if heat stabilizers are compatible. I have Bait Plastics plastisol and am looking into buying LureWorks' heat stabilizer. Are they ok to use together? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
