Featherstona Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 Im looking to get into making mg own soft plastics. I was wondering if anyone had any runners they arent remelting or gonna use that I could buy that way I can test the water and see if this is something I'm enjoy doing before I drop a ton into plastisol. Or at the very least point me on the right path Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jigmeister Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 I (like many others ) started out melting down used plastic baits in a microwave and pouring them into low cost home made plaster molds . If it all works out then you can think about purchasing plastisol . Careful though it can be addictive . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 I would suggest contacting a couple of plastisol suppliers and see if they might provide a sample, provided you pay for shipping. Probably be a bit easier than asking for runners IMO. Welcome to TU, btw.............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apdriver Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 I wouldn’t start with remelts. They can be problematic depending on their condition, where they have been stored, moisture content if they have salt as the salt will collect moisture. If you acquired some that bubbled like crazy, it could turn you off this hobby. Just my .02 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
