Mike Regan Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 Been pouring worms for about 3 weeks without too much trouble however today I tried to pour "salt & pepper". (clear w/blk flake). I got a green tint to the worm - very noticable. Can anyone tell me why? My plastic was mixed very well, tried salt and then no salt, but that didn't seem to make any difference. The only thing that I can come up with is that there is a color film in the pan because of all the pours. Do you mix salt & pepper with a separate pan? Only thing I can think of. Thanks for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB GONE Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 More than likely your flake is bleeding at the high temperature causing a color change in the "clear" plastic. I never change pans but watch my temps close on any smoke baits. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bssmstr Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 I agree about the temps. I got a laser temperature "gun" at Harbor Freights for $19 (on sale). I seem to pour better at ~350 degrees, but the glitter will bleed a lot at that temp. Now I try to pour at ~320 or less. Doesn't pour as well on 'thin' areas, you just need to be more patient and a lot more practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james bradshaw Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 Your plastic may be turning yellow or a light green color. Plastisol won't take 350 deg for long periods of time! I haven't ever noticed black glitter bleeding. Heat your plastic just enough to pour the baits and molds that your pouring and pour them as fast as you can.

mtcald10 Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 My guess is the same as james' I notice that my plastic will turn green on lighter colors when I cook it too long or too hot. You may try to either pour it a little cooler or runnig smaller batches if it only happens at the end of making a mess of worms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
