Jig Man Posted March 9, 2022 Report Share Posted March 9, 2022 Have you ever tried to clean one? If so how did it go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishermanbt Posted March 9, 2022 Report Share Posted March 9, 2022 With the knife cold I give it a scrub with a Scotch Bright pad (pot scrubber) to remove dried on, crusty plastic. If that doesn’t cut through it try a copper pot scrubber. For stubborn baked on plastic heat the knife up on low, wear gloves and try the copper scrubber.

Jig Man Posted March 10, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2022 Thanks. I’ve tried cleaning it cold. I’ll try it warm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anyfish Posted March 10, 2022 Report Share Posted March 10, 2022 Why clean it? Does it cross contaminate colors? Not weld baits as well because of build up? I ask as I don't have a hot knife, but plan on getting one in very near future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jig Man Posted March 11, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2022 I tried the warm knife before cleaning is was better than when cold. It's clean enough that I can live with it. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishermanbt Posted March 11, 2022 Report Share Posted March 11, 2022 That’s the spirit! I’ve also heated mine until it just started to smoke and scraped it with a razor blade or putty knife. Followed by a quick wipe down with a dry shop towel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
