Which of these two do most of you use? Is softness, floatability or durability the main concern? Can you put eyes as well as a fish scales like pattern on soft plastic minnows? :confused:

I use plastisol
I use plastisol everything that you mentioned ship is possible, putting eyeballs and also paining scales on plastic baits. Of course this is a little bit more work involved we are in the process of working with different paints or plastic baits to do scale finishes I just haven't had time to get the necessary machinery to do this, putting eyes on plastic bait is a little bit different depending on what type eyeballs that you are going to do a lot a guys well put 3-D eyeballs in double-dip your plastic baits. I prefer to use a jail in the mold make it in the oven and then shoot the rest the body yes I have posted in the past year on the small fish. They also do photo steadying on plastic baits which will get into some computer work. And of course a few dollars.
Stay with your good ole plastisol, elastek has a lot of impurities and can be a nightmare to work with until you get used to working with the beast. Cheaper to use,,,only if you are cranking a lot of product(injection machine). Not worth it by hand
