For $20-$40... I'd try these I posted... I don't think the pot knows what it's heating as long as the temps can be adjusted to our needs.
That would be worth a try for sure!

Thanks guys!
The deep fryer will work perfect.
If you aren't working today then you should be fishin'   :D
Hope all you are healthy and safe!

Okay so about to do a re-melt session shortly...
I will be using the deep fryer as well.  But thinking when I re-malt some of my old plastics...Couldn't I just pour and mix in some un-cook plastisol with it?
I mean as long as I get it up to 350 degrees I should be good?
Mixing it shouldn't be a problem?

Yes, that will work. Also mix in a little heat stablizer.

Yup...I just bought some heat stabilizer.
In your opinion...How much would you mix in with a cup of plastic?

Depends on how much is old plastic baits. I'd start with a generous cap full.
