Whwn I say trash its left over pieces from previous pours colors and glitters will vary batch to batch since its trims and left overs from other pours this was last nights results not bad looking colors.

Question for you guys. I have a lot of Strike King "Rage Tail" broken up chunks. Can I re-melt these and pour new baits with these? Mind you I have never poured plastic, however I just hate to throw all the half damaged baits away. Thanks for any input.

Hey cad
I think you can but add a little bit of heat stabilizer when using remelts.

Hate to be annoying, but what is heat stabilizer and where do I get this stuff. Maybe this is not worth it if I have to invest a lot just to re-melt.:dodgy::dodgy:

I get heat stabilizer from bears baits you can reheat some baits I usually start fresh or reuse my left overs rather than keep tore baits but it could save you some $$

be careful cad if the plastic has moisture in it from being used it can get ugly when melted. But yeah i remelt plastics all the time some with scents added smoke way to much and arent worth the problems but most do fine.

Thanks for all the input guys, I will have to see if this is worth my while. With all the jigs I pour, I don't want to buy more supplies and start a new hobby.
