Re-melt Session (Deep Fryer Style)

[Johnny Bass]

What up guys!
I am about to attempt the baiting make session with the deep fryer.  This is what I am thinking and please chime in and let me know your thoughts or better ways I can approach this….
First, I am going to start the fryer and heat up to like 100 -150 degrees and slowly add the old plastic.  The fryer I would assume gets hot fast. Think I will just turn up the heat every 2-3 min. I think I want to SLOWLY heat this plastic up.  I will be using heat stabilizer too.  Once the fryer has heated to 350 (let it sit at that temp for a 1 min or so) then turn it down to like 340 and began shooting.  While shooting the plastic I think I want to leave the temp at 340 or around there until I finish it all up in the fryer.

* I don’t want to scorch the plastic.  The plastic will more than likely be sitting in the fryer for an hour or so while I continuously shoot.

Any thoughts, methods, or anything that I should do to approach this?

I want to know what fryer you bought, How much it cost and how good it keeps the temps accurate and consistent.

I got this one...

Keep it stirred too.

I think I'd hold the plastic at 315 - 320 or so as opposed to 340.  If all you're using is already cooked plastic, you don't need to take it to 350.

[Johnny Bass]

Okay, when I do the re-melt I will keep it at or around 325
But if I am adding uncooked I will get it too 350 then turn it down to 325 and shoot

My thinking is to heat the raw plastisol to the 350 then add the remelting pieces. A tip that DennyWelch was to chunk the remelt pieces as small as possible, so it can be mixed easier, and so it will melt faster.

[Johnny Bass]

Okay, that does make more sense to add the raw plastic first then the remelt.
Yeah, I will have the remelt in little pieces to have it melt faster.
Thanks..

Johnny, those old fashioned hand crank meat grinders with a coarse blade will make short work of getting small pieces to remelt and they can be found at garage/rummage sales and thrift stores pretty darned cheap.

Johnny, just wondering if you had a chance to use the deep fryer to melt or cook some plastic? Curious if it worked alright for you.

[Johnny Bass]

Yeah I did.  It worked pretty well. The deep fryer was a good size to put the gun in and draw from.  But the next time I do it, I will make sure I have a lot of re-melt to shoot.

Glad it worked out for yeah John
