I know now that you can't hurry this....I did and got bubbles again! For sure premium degassed plastisol is now my new friend tested essential and *********'s one turned amber and one didn't is a heads up just clear for dipping the baits.Attachment 250818Attachment 250822
It's fun though. Thanks for the info.
Nice baits buddy!!
Well which one was clear and which one turned amber lol??? Definitely can't rush.
Essentials turned amber. Short bursts oh anglers idea of the cardboard in the micro has really made an impact. I controlled it the baitjunlys degassed stayed clear and hardly any bubbles! The essentials full of bubbles I only turned it up side down carefully not to shake it vigorously to add bubbles no comparison
Yeah I'm done with Do-It and I've spent the most money with them. Nothing more said is needed.
I shake my do-it plastic for five or six minutes and never have bubbles, and on my last heating to get to 350 I stir it like crazy, ten slowly stir it for 5 seconds and the bubble come right out, I also pour my plastic into my injector
I have the 2.5 gals like to see you shake that for
6 min. Thatd wear me
out! Shaking plastisol causes bubbles i got schooled on that. Again it's degass is the way,I need to
figure out how to
degass my own
Haven't been posting for a long time but a word of advice on plastisol . It is better if you don't shake any of it . You will introduce air back into the plastic as time goes on . That can cause bubbles and even some discoloring . Rig you up a roller system so it can be on the laying on the side of the jug . Slow turning electrical motors work best .Leave them going most of the time during production and 2 hrs before if possible.. Just a little FYI from the school of hard knocks . BJ plastic is premo . By the way Lenard toadfrog says hi.
I have bought 3 batches of degassed first two 5 gallon batches was great last one when microwaved have to let sit couple of minutes before it clears.

There is a lot that depends on the mfg . Bait Junkies will not be told there is a goof up . Sometimes they need input from us if we suspect a problem . Your going to run into that no matter which plastic you use . I don't do much of anything anymore but I have tried to use a little of every plastic I could get my hands on . Liftbite56 I THINK Bait Junkies has a video on youtube that shows the process .You might do your own version using an old pressure cooker or something.Quote:

What are your heat times?
I'm doing small amounts to keep waste down while I get my learning curve with this colorant drop on first side. Any way the raw starts out with 50 sec. burst then a 45 sec. burst ...not stirring then 30-15 sec. burst and watch as it goes thick and to clear ( then I stir the plastisol) to the viscosity ready to shoot. Stirring infuses bubbles as well if I'd let it set that would have eleminated my prob. I think. This only is an issue when I'm wanting a clear no colorant shot.
Between your 50, 40 and 30-15 sec heats are you letting it rest or do you just immediately start with next heat?
I have poured for a few years now. I hate bubbles. To me I should not have to learn how to work around bubbles. I tried 4 plastic. Then I got some MF. No bubbles!!! Pick up the jug shake it up to mix it, no bubble. Pour it in your cup stir to mix in your color, no bubbles. Heat 30 sec. stir, do this 5 or 6 times until done. No bubbles. Got 5 gallons of the 464. Lasted 1 1/2 years no bobbles. First pour of that 5 gallons to the last, it poured the same. MF does have it short coming, but bubbles ain't one of them.
LOL I've learned how to work around bubbles using Crystal Clear and Essentials.

Didn't know I needed it to rest? Is that it? Resting. About how long min. Or so?Quote:

I don't know I'm asking you as I've never done it the way you are. I heat then stir or swirl and repeat until I get to proper temperature. If there are bubbles I let rest with something covering the pyrex glass so that the plastic doesn't cool as fast. The bubbles will rise to the top and I take a torch and run it across the plastic to pop bubbles. Sometimes I need to work the plastic again until bubbles are gone. I would imagine if you don't somehow stir the plastic in-between heats there will be pockets in the plastic hotter than others which might lead to browning in some spots.Quote:

It is a good plastic with only down fall for me is the smell. The essential has no smell when cooking according to my family. They can tell the difference lol. I bought 5 gallons of the bj and no issues. I does cook slightly different than the essential IMO. Does really well on reheats also.
