Car Heat VS Plastics

Күн бұрынTesting 3 plastics in the back window of a car to see how they hold up against the heat.

I believe most commercial baits are using a mixture of plastisol, and some other oils to help baits break down faster in the waterways, after all it looks bad for a company to have a bunch of their baits just polluting the waterways [even tho its not really their fault] so to help break them down faster is kinda smart, kinda like those dissolving golf balls. because a foam bomber thrown into a plastic bait bag, even without the bait, something [such as the oils used] will dissolve the foam after a little time.

I havent really ever had a problem with melting plastics, but ive got Zman TRD's that have just caused damage to my actual tackle box. And they always come inside with me after im done fishing. Theres even a notice to not mix them with others. Crazy😮

Yep. That plastic doesn’t play nice with any other plastics and needs to be kept in the original packaging or that happens.

Back in the day, melted worms could be big old pain in the ass. Nothing like breaking out your favorite hair jig just to find it in the middle of a ball of snot that used to be a plastic grub.

@@grimtasticbaits i remember some incidents that ate worm shaped prints in the finish or bodies of hard lures. My neon green jointed rapala is very old now and it has 2 worm scars that burnt clear thru the lacquer finish or whatever is on the outside of them.

Thanks for doing this test. I was wondering about this just yesterday before a fishing trip in North Alabama. New subscriber here.

@@Paul_T843 thanks for the watch. I bet you all get WAY hotter down there than we do in Ohio. For the 2 weeks they were in the back window I think our hottest day was 93 degrees. Probably every day down south for you all.

@@grimtasticbaits , yeah, it's been hot here. We had a day or two where I think it got into the high 80s, but they are calling for triple digits next week. Not looking forward to that, but I'm hoping the local fishing spots won't be as crowded.

While the test is cool and all for curiosity purposes.... I can't really imagine that people will just leave baits outside of a tackle bag or box in the window like that. I have had several 100+ degree days where I am leaving my bag in the car with windows up... and have not really had any issues with plastics other than they may become softer which actually gives them more action and seemingly makes them work better for a short duration.

I agree. I was just trying to find a way to simulate the heat Florida gets up here in Ohio. Didn’t know how else to push the extreme. If you leave your baits in a back window you deserve to have them melted into a mess. 😂. It’s was just for curiosity.

In my car thermal heat is F 95°avreg and and in the car can get to F150° on 100°+day's what is the medium heat to melt the soft plastic. Very interesting 🤔

When I am making baits the remelt point of my plastic starts around 250 and it gets gooey. 300 it is full liquid.
@TravisInCanada1 Ай бұрын
Out of curiosity what is the melting point of plastisol? Does anyone know when it STARTS to melt? Given those ribbon tails started to fuse together I would guess 200 degrees F. I can see how the argument could be made that the thickness of the bait and or any tails/appendages would be compromised first.
@grimtasticbaits Ай бұрын
When I make baits the activation point to turn it from a liquid to a usable plastic is 350 degrees. After that I melt down to around 310-320 degrees with Dead On Plastix. It gets mushy and gooey around 250 after it has been activated when reheating plastic. At about 250 degrees you can usually take plastic out of the mold and it will hold shape.
