Calhoun's super floating plastic?

[jigmeister]

I was looking at this product at the Delmart web site but was wondering if anyone has any experience pouring with this stuff? Is this an additive like hardener/softener just a super floating plastic mixture. Does it contain those "micro-spheres" for the floatation? And lastly will softener work with super floater plastic? With all the frog/toad pouring going on these days someone has the answer ........Thanks- jigmeister

it works better as an additive. you can use it as full product but most guys just cant cook it with out burning it, mainly cause they dont stir it well enough.

yes it contains the mirco-spheres.

best way to cook it as and additive is:

(example one cup)

heat your soft plastic up as normal

get 2 table spoons of the floating plastic and stir it into the already cookes plastic, let it absorb the heat so to speak( so it cooks) the heat it up some more( in a micro about 10-20 seconds) so you know its thorughly cooked.

if you want to cook it alone.

don't use a mircowave

use a oven only ( yes an oven)

cook it slow at about 300.

The whole key to cooking this(by itself) is it must be stirred and I mean whipped type stirred. it will come out when mixed properly a little thinner than cool whip.

the best way is to use an egg beater.

and you must do it every time you use it even after it sets for 30 mins as the bubbles float to the top, leaving the softener on the bottom.

it will pour alike a very heavy salt water plastic ie thick.

you can't not pour it in frog molds with great success.

best in open cavitie molds only ie super flukes, slug molds worms etc.

you can't mix it will softener as wont cook right.

OK Del thanks for the info . But another quick question ??? If you can't add softener when using the super floater additive what effect does it have on the finished baits (harder , softer , or same as base plastic mix used?)

[Delw]

you can add softener to it in the regular plastic when using it as an additive, but I assumed you were going to cook it by itself and wanted to add softener.

It will act just like Salt in that its going to firm the bait up a tad., using a little bit wont affect it much
