The Real Deal Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 Everytime I pour my worms, they never set up. I started heating them until I thought it was good enough - didnt work. I then heated until it started to change colors - didnt work. It doesnt matter how much I heat the bastards, they still dont set up. I need help please!

Delw Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 First off make sure your plastic is mixed up extreamly good then when you are heating it in the microwave or hotpot /stove it will start to turn thick once it turns thick it will also clear. once it clears it will start to get pourable thin and runny if you made it through these steps then you should be ok as once it cools off with will harden up. now I am taking into account you haven't add'd any softener or hardener or any other additives. if you are please post exactly what your going and how much your adding be'ing very specific will help someone help you out.

wannabefishing Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 stir stir stir and then stir the plastic some more.... don't add colour or salt or anything else... zap it until it goes from white, to clear gel to clear liquid... then it's done, pour some worms then and wait and see if it sets up correctly... When you first start and add glitter/dye/salt it gets hard to know when it's cooked through properly... leaving it clear will atleast let you see the "stages" it goes through Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real Deal Posted August 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 When I pour it is, in fact, runny/clear. I did add softener. Cant really determine how much since I was just estimating the ammount I needed for the ammount of plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Prager Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 Unless you are pouring salted sticks, you shouldn't need any softener at all. If you are using pyrex cups, measure and WRITE DOWN how much of everything to are using. You can't really duplicate "eyeball" measurements. Well, I can't anyways!
