aquarium tubing

[shipahoy41]

Here is another question for all the experts on here. Has anyone ever tried melting clear aquarium tubing in a microwave and using the molten plastic to make lures? Just wondering before I make a big mess. Anyone been there and done that? Any advice? Dumb idea?

bad I deal don't know what that stuff is made out of I don't know put silicone or some other material I would be afraid to even attempt to melt it asked Keith that these ever messed with the stuff I for one haven't one way to find out Mike put it in the microwave and see if it blows up if it doesn't it worksRofl I think you better stick with the plastic that I know about.

LOL Rofl That is the only reason I never started pouring plastics!! I look at all the money I have tied up in tying jigs and flies and sometimes I wish I had never started....then I wake up and make my next order Hands Clapping

If I had several grand I would buy myself a boat or better yet a home on a reservoir. I spent a fortune tying jigs. No way I can do the same with plastics. I had a hard time convincing her the fact that I wanted to try dipping eyes.
