Thread: Here's a box-full

I needed to replenish my stinger box so I gave all of last years stuff to the grand son and whipped up new. Every bait in this box is made from a re-melt. Some of these colors have been melted over a dozen times.

Very nice. I like those colors.

Nice buddy!!!!!!!!

How do You get those colors to hold up under all those reheatings? thanks. CF

I use a lot of stabilizer during the heating process and before I set a cup aside to cool I add a good shot of it and stir it in well. Stabilizer is way under-used and if you are working with the transparent colors I do and the clear colors like bluegill or firecracker you simply have to lean on stabilizer or you won't be able to keep the plastic from turning.

I use stabilizer too but apparently not enough. Do You add at every reheating too or are you just giving a massive shot on the first Heat?CF

Every re-heating. And I am not counting drops. If the drops were laid out end to end they'd be two inches long in a batch less than 6 ounces. Stabilizer cooks out and the smaller the plastic quantity the faster it departs. While some insist that adding this much stabilizer affects the plastic, I have not seen a change in the plastic I use at all. I am using stabilizer sold by the same company that sells the plastic to stay uniform.

Thanks for the info. I am currently using Bears stabilizer with Spike its plastic but am going to change to spike its stabilizer. Already had it planned and think that it will help especially since what You have said here. I have been giving good squirts of stabilizer, not drops too. I'll try more to see if it helps. Thanks.

those look great sir, very nice color combo's
