As CTom said get u a digital thermometer. I got mine at Home Depot. I heat my plastic at around 350 F. There is always a learning curve as what to do and not to do. First time i used the microwave i scorched a batch as i didn't check it after i got it liquid and over heated it. It was still usable just changed it from pink to salmon LOL. I was doing remelts on the batch i scorched. I don't have any stabilizer yet will get some the next time i order some plastic. I bought one plastic mold not the type u have, but it did not work good for me so i will stick with the aluminum molds. These in the pic were hand pours i have a 7" round finness worm and a baby shad injection molds. Wanting a creature bait mold but have not found what i am looking for. I am looking for one like the Rodent from Strike King also at a good price. Making plastics is one of my hobbies, I give more away than sell the ones in the pic's i gave away yesterday to a buddy of mine. Cub48
