salt

[Chieftan1997]

I'm making stick baits can you use regular salt to make plastics or do you have to get something special?

Regular Salt is not pure and is not recommended..  I would suggest worm salt, pool salt or Pickling salt.  Worm and pool salt have a very fine texture and the pickling salt has a senko kind of texture

I had the same kind of question..and was told pop corn salt....WOW.  IT THAT REALLY WORKED WELL...took my baits to the next level...walmarts is where I found it...its by the popcorn  not in the baking area...now if I could get my senko mold to fill up all five spots..having trouble with the top spot..air

What size injector are you using?   Use the large injector.  Make sure all your vents are venting.  Sound like you have a vent problem for the top worm.  Or shoot it slow and hold th presure for like 5-10 seconds.  Then keep your spru filled.
