    hahah Tonys hilarious!
    I like the idea of making my own plastics, but I worry about the economy of it. Also I've got to say that rubber steam when it comes out of the microwave is a real worry, I know you guys are videoing, but next time without the video I'd go masks for sure.

    • @HippieMagic
      @HippieMagic Před rokem

      It’s a good idea to wear a respirator. As far as the economy, you can keep all your torn up plastics and melt and reuse them or even get the super cheap discount plastics and melt those.
      You can buy new plastisol too if you’d like but it can be super cheap or super expensive depending on the route you take.

    of all the fishing baits out there the soft plastics have been my most challenging. i have gotten better with them but they are still a final resort rather then a go to.
