Thread: Ventilation Making Plastic Jigs - Safety

I just open the garage doors 1/4 -1/2 way. I use the do it essential plastital. It has less fumes an odor than the previous plastital I used. It is also phthalate free. I suggest you switch to it Frank. I have plans of getting a vent fan soon.

Will do on the plastisol. Still Have 5 gallons of the other stuff.

I use a duct fan right over the cup, it moves 200 sqf per minuet. I vent it out my window. And yes do-its essential has verylittle fumes. Dave

Dave, thank you for that information. How is the hardness of this new plastisol? Soft Medium or hard?

Essential plastic is medium. That's the only formula available, but it can be softened to soft very easy with Do-It's softener. I put 1 3/4 ounces in a pint bottle and fill it with the plastisol for my soft and its a dynamite plastic for smaller baits.

Have a cheap wally world fan setting in a window to pull vapors out!! Cannot be to safe!! Be careful about little ones around!!Good post!!

Thanks for the feedback! I was hoping they had a hard option as it allows me to catch more without having to change baits.

You can always harden it if you like. I have found the essential series has more elasticity than the clear series. Pretty tough plastic. Hands down the best plastital on the market.
