I havent tried the plastisol you have, but you should be able to add hardener to firm it up.  Here is a link to the one Do It sells https://store.do-itmolds.com/Crystal-Clear-Hardener-Pint_p_306.html

I just buy medium plastisol and then use hardener or softener to adjust as needed.

Hope it helps.

Are you adding salt to your senko's ?
 That will firm um up some - if you like salt in your baits.

Do-It's Essential plastic is a nice plastic to work with.

Salt will definitely stiffen the plastic but will also make them about a one fish bait. Do-It's HD sinking additive makes even the Essential plastic tougher, with guys reporting 6-8 fish on a worm instead of one or two using salted worms. If you want tougher without the weight, the hardener will help with too soft of plastic.

Like anyfish, I just use medium and softner/hardener to my taste.  Sink rate is a different matter as all plastics that I am familiar with float, unless they have an additive in them that makes them sink,  However even a plastisol that is advertised as "floating" will sink with a hook thru the snout.  Experiments are fun and can lead you down the path you want to take.

Seriously ? Use this. It's as good as anything that's out there. Take it from an old guy that's been doing it for years.
