CCM Plastic

[siscojj]

I HAVE ONLY HAD YELLOWING ISSUES WITH LIGHT COLORS AND I POSTED THAT PROBLEM AND IT WAS SUGGESTED THAT IT'S KINDA  NORMAL WITH LIGHT COLORS BUT IM OK WITH THAT SO I JUST MAKE SMALLER BATCHES SO NOT TO WASTE AND I REALLY LIKE CCM PLATISOL I THINK IT'S THE BEST I'VE USED OUT OF FOUR BRANDS AND I WON'T BE BUYING ANY OTHER BRAND AND I REALLY DO LIKE THIS FORUM YOU GUY'S ARE GREAT AND THATS JUST MY TWO CENTS.

Now, specifically to our Crystal Clear Plastisol:

Do you know how many customers have called us or emailed us about their plastisol yellowing?  ZERO

I reported the issue immediately however this was prior to Do-It being involved but you have my report now. The plastic yellows after a few minutes of sitting. Something causes this and others can reproduce it in their shops. I may still have the box left that was causing this but more than likely it was discarded at the local oil depot. This issue is a pain if you are trying to use the plastic for dipping or even light colored/clear baits. Be great to know what is causing the yellowing for so many.

I also have had an issue with the regular plastcal yellowing. I contacted Ryan recently and he has resolved my concerns. Ryan was very gracious with his time and with the resolution of my issue.

I find it troubling that this thread has been going on and on for weeks and NO ONE has contacted Do-It and talked directly with a person from the company. if you have a concern about the quality of a product sold by Do-It, contact them directly for resolution.

This is a great forum. I read it a lot... Haven't posted much.

Was there an identified problem or just got new plastic?

I had a missed call from Ryan so will call when I get out of the hospital (work) but I no longer use the product so am only interested to see if the problem has been identified.

Perhaps the original aggressive post from DO-IT turned people from wanting to speak to them.
I put my hand up and said i was having problems typed it in black and white. Even if people didn't call for one reason or another they have voiced there concerns here isn't that enough.

And in spite of the flap, I just ordered another 2.5 gallons of CCM soft.

I thought the Forum was for giving each other tips on "how to"....not to resolve customer service issues.

Let's face it...there are a lot of issues here..possibly some with the plastic...possibly some with user's process...and possibly some other issues.

I just don't want to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs...I have learned a lot on this forum on how to do things....and the reason why I hang out on this forum vs. the "mean forum" is because it was always a helpful friendly place.

Let's get back to the CCM Forum being the happy, friendly, helpful place and if you have a customer service issue call customer service or PM if you don't like phone calls.

Let's not kill this goose.

I have had the issue in the past, before do it, and on several occasions, for me smaller batches is not an option so I went in another direction for my plastic. As far as changing formula, I dont think they have BUT they get raw ingredients to make their plastic and that in it self could have changed. Saying no one has said anything doesnt cut it with me, people have gotten replacement plastic or heat stabilizer to help with the problem but that does not mean no one has complained. I find that hard to believe. When I had this issue Jason sent me another batch and that fixed my problem (that time ) but after having it again I chose not to use it at the premium price it is. It is a very durable plastic and cooked up great, I just couldnt get past the yellowing when I am dipping 1000 baits a day I cant have it happen after only a few minutes. I truly think the problem is with the raw ingredients and not in the control of do it.  To say its our problem or we are doing something different is not the case with most. We are very methodical about how we cook our plastic as it is so fragile. Many have been doing this for years and have learned how to fix problems along the way but when we cant fix it there is something wrong.Not with our methods but with the product. We get enough denial from the government and would rather see the problem worked and repaired.

Ha this place is starting to sound like TU

Growing pains.

Curse words are not allowed on this forum!!!!!       

Still disagree Andy. A transparent process for issues just like this leads to confidence in the process and product in my eyes.

Quashing the public discussion does the opposite for me.

Even though spring is here, I guess I need to go back into hibernation....

Jeez, Jim, I'd hate to see you go back into hibernation.  You've always been an important part of this forum and have been around here a lot longer than most of us.  Personally, I missed seeing your many posts during your absence.  You are a good resource, a wealth of information, and, most of all, a good guy.  I think most of the stuff going on now will shake itself out in the near future.

Not even close.
Sometimes to get something done you have to roll your sleeves up and get a little dirty.

These posts are being made by some of the "heavy hitters" to ignore these posts would be a bad business model.

I couldn't agree more, Rat.
