Plastisol Weight
« on: 06/06/13 07:00 UTC »
Hi Guys,
New member here from Australia! I have a quick question - can anybody give me an approximate weight on a Gal of Plastisol? Simply looking at freight options (apart from the obvious shop option) as I ship a lot of products from the US to here with a forwarder.

Just looking to dip my toes into the plastics word, mainly to produce trailers for my spinnerbaits.
Thanks Guys
Simon Taylor

One gallon as is in the bladder and dispensing box weighs just short of 9 pounds.

Jerry is the man.  I was going to answer that CCM plastisol just floats; so that would put it at a weight of +/-  8.2 lbs per gallon.  But; they do ship it in cartons don't they; and charge accordingly ( Duh ).

Thanks guys,
The hard part is weighing up whats needed to start out!
Jerry if one gal is purchased (using your international post option), can colours/glitter be packaged with it, or does that create other issues?
