CAN I MELT LARGE PLASTIC BAITS IN THE MICROWAVE AD THEN POUR
THAT PLASTIC INTO MOLDS AND MAKE NEW BAITS OUT OF THEM?
NEW TO PLASTIC BAIT MAKING AND WILL PROBABLY HAVE A LOT OF QUESTIONS.
ALSO WHERE IS THE BEST PLACE TO BUY CUSTOM MOLDS FOR SMALL PLASTIC
BAITS?
THANKS
CHEF:confused::confused:
yes you can do that, just be careful. jacobsbaits.com basstackle.com kmolds.com bearsbaits.com del-mart.com
The best bet would be just to order new dye and plastic from Bears baits.com or lure craft.com. Commercial made lures have alot of additives that don't do good when reheated and welcome to the addiction
I have made thousands of jigs by melting old and new plastic baits. Some brands work better than others but I have never had a problem with it. just cut them into small pieces and melt them in a pyrex cup.
keep a close eye on your microwave when you were read melding plastics you can burn the stuff really easy you'll want to keep stirring every 20 to 30 seconds. Anyway I do.and welcome aboard.
Thanks guys
