basscatlildave Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 I wish I could offer some help but be sure it's mixed up good. Sounds to me like it's separated. What blend is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judgie Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 Its all in the mixing , if its separated you have to stir the bottom of the container . Shaking it will not do much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingmfg Posted March 19, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 It is Deadon Featherlight,maybe that’s why it’s so thin Its a gallon jug so hard to stir After vigorous shaking it got better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It toook me a little while to get use to it after using calhouns that baitjunkys sold, but i'm happy now. I just orderd 4 gallons of medium & a gallon of salt water too . I mix it with the medium to make tubes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bass-Boys Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 Les, What was it that you had to get used to. I am down to my last few gallons of Calhouns and will be trying something different. Thinking about Easy stretch, but not sure yet . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basskat Posted March 21, 2021 Report Share Posted March 21, 2021 I really can't tell any difference. Switched when Baitjunky's quit carrying Calhoun's. Used around 25 gallons so far this year with no issues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The baits cured up oilier & softer feeling than with the calnouns, but after letting them cure a little longer there very good and the softness is good & the baits are actually pretty durable. I've ordered several 5 gallon batches of it so far & like it. Edited March 23, 2021 by Les Young Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They come out of the mold & they are oilier when warm until they've had time tocool & cure, but after a little time i really like the results. I think it's a little clearer than the calhouns too. Anyway it being a different plastic & me getting use to the slight differences between it & calhouns i'm completely satisfied with the baitplastics stuff. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelhead Junkie Posted April 1, 2021 Report Share Posted April 1, 2021 This is what's happening when I add Translucent Dye to heated Deadon Plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redfisher Posted April 1, 2021 Report Share Posted April 1, 2021 I cant get away from mf easy stretch and bounce. I even mix them together. The only draw back to bounce is it wont laminate unless duel injected. The easy stretch has no draw back. I use soft bounce as a softner and never need a hardner for es med/firm. I also use bounce medium as a softner for es. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happens if you add the dye before heating? Looks like the dye is not dissolved. I'd bet it would dissolve in raw plastic. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only drawback to both is they will hard pack pretty severely. A buddy gave me a gallon of bounce he had for a couple years and there was literally an inch of hard pack on the bottom. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
