A mold would be nice  :D.  Red Glitter and pearl powder?  Remember to add the Chartreuse to cold plastic.

What do you mean about the cold,plastic ?

I think he means to add the color to the cold plastic before you heat it up!

Cold = raw, un-cooked plastic.

Chop them up fine, add just a little raw plastic and heat in about thirty second shots, stirring well during the breaks in heating. You'll want to get the plastic to 350 degrees if you add the raw plastic. If you just heat the old plastic you can stop heating at about 330-325.

Don't reheat Gulp baits. Someone here did and complained that it smelled awful and wondered if it was toxic...Any baits with salt could have absorbed moisture. Extreme absorption and they will be larger than normal. I would be hesitant to heat them up. Water and plastic react violently together when heated.   BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE!

It sounds like just use plastic that has only been used on the work bench.
