[QUOTE="onthewater102, post: 465234, member: 13702"] Grabbed a food processor at Goodwill and used it to mince up all the beat up plastic left over from last year's fishing efforts. Worked perfectly. Even the salted plastics were easy to melt back down in an 1100 watt microwave. 1 minute, remove & stir, 40 seconds, remove & stir, 20 second intervals from there out removing & stirring after each. Tried some silicone hand-pour molds from lureparts online, the plastic really needs to be on the extreme hot end of the spectrum in order to use those and not get tons of excess. Makes a dreamshot style dropshot worm out of a mold costing $10 and a $4 pyrex cup from walmart, pretty inexpensive way to get into it. [/QUOTE]
