Thread: Tiny bubbles inside

Not sure but they look good

Sent from a Droid.

Several things could cause the air bubbles. .... Overheating, moisture in the cups, stirring too early.... Were you using remelts?

If you let the plastic sit the bubbles will rise and most will pop. Or you can skim them off the top.

Could be from stirring too fast or hard. I've done that struggling to get the glitter off the bottom of the cup. In my haste I beat a froth into the plastic, kinda like whipping up scrambled eggs. Sometimes I hurry trying to get a few more shots in before I have to reheat the plastic; that's usually where I make mistakes or get burnt. I guess the patience I try to learn on the water would be put to good use at the pouring table...

And if you're using remelts, like RonDon suggested, be sure you're chopping them into tiny bits before you use them.

I think he has just been so excited over the new boat that he stirred too agressively and whipped air into the plastic.

I think I was stirring too fast. No, they were not remelts but new plastisol. I wonder if I whip them faster and get more air in them would they float off the bottom in a modified "Carolina type rig" for deep water crappie? If not I will just use them on a floating jig head. David, you are right. I have been spending too much time with Legacy. It will get slimed this week.

When I first saw this post title I thought well old ship has done it again, he just got into plastics and now he's done invented a new plastic that when placed it the water starts to sing the song Tiny Bubbles to attract the fish. guess I am thinking a few months too soon

Now that's funny. LOL

Well that helps me with my bubble problem hopefully. I think I always stir too early. Thank you Ship for finding the answers before I thought to ask.

Tiny bubbles belong in something other than our plastics.
