MarshManiaC Posted September 18, 2003 Report Share Posted September 18, 2003 I am thinking about pouring my own plastic due to the fact that I am cheap and want to make mine as I think they should be made, eventually selling a few to feed the habit. I have reasearched a lot of sites...I am thinking of ordering some Lure Craft 502...do I NEED to add anything to it to make it harden or does the chem reaction from the heat cause it to gel? Any other helpful hints n stuff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted September 18, 2003 Report Share Posted September 18, 2003 Not sure how hard you want your baits, but the 502 formula is SUPER tough, making it really difficult to work with. You might try using the 536 formula; then if your plastic is too soft you can always add hardener. All plastisol is formulated to gel with heat. Hope this helps.

MarshManiaC Posted September 18, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2003 Hey Thanks Chris....so fast, excellent! I need a tough plastic...I fish for redfish in the Louisiana marsh and they can really wreak havoc on some soft baits.... I am thinking I'll order the 502 and do some testing and put in some softener as needed.....hell, testing is gonna he half the fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted September 18, 2003 Report Share Posted September 18, 2003 Sounds like the 502 might work for you then. It's designed mainly for saltwater fishing. Good Luck and Have Fun! Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
