Psy Posted December 24, 2024 Report Share Posted December 24, 2024 After the holidays I'm going to contact my local waste management facilities and see what they say. I'm curious what other people do. Long story short, earlier this year I ordered some plastisol from Bait Plastics that was terrible. Loads of bubbles, but worse than that, it burns very, very quickly and easily. I have to add a good bit of heat stabilizer just to prevent it from scorching before it hits 350 degrees. And that's with very careful microwave usage, heating in small increments in ideal heating zones in the microwave. I just gave up on it a while back and I'm going to just dispose of the remaining half gallon or so I have left after hearing what my local waste management people have to say. I've had someone else tell me to "cook it into a puck and then recycle it". Problem being that it burns before it hits 350, so it's not going to get that reaction. Also I'm not sure if it's recyclable in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Catignani Posted December 24, 2024 Report Share Posted December 24, 2024 You could always try cutting it in with a more suitable plastisol at something like 4:1 or something. This is how I got rid of some I had that was not really what I wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Young Posted December 25, 2024 Report Share Posted December 25, 2024 I'd mix it in a little at a time with whatever plastisol you're using now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to check my account to see when the purchase was made, it's been a while. Got it in June. I'm not slamming Bait Plastics here either, I know plenty of people that swear by their products.

Bass-Boys Posted December 25, 2024 Report Share Posted December 25, 2024 (edited) Add heat stabilizer and use it mixed in like mentioned above. but if it messes up your new plastisol - pitch it out Edited December 25, 2024 by Bass-Boys added more info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McLuvin175 Posted December 30, 2024 Report Share Posted December 30, 2024 As long as it doesn't turn black then the easiest option would be to just cook it, let cool, then dispose of it. Cooked plastisol is fine to dispose of and you dont have to deal with the hassle or be concerned with dealing with liquid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psy Posted January 2 Author Report Share Posted January 2 Called the waste management people, they had no idea what I was talking about, lol. Less than helpful on their end, so gonna have to see if I can find another resource somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
