alumisol ????'s

Postby shenlonco » Fri May 04, 2012 8:16 pm

Hi guy's i just wanted to know if the alumisol is the same as real rubber lures where as if you leave a lure on a plastic object made from alumisol will it melt into the plastic or does alumisol not melt into any plastics?

THANKS

Alumisol is our version of traditional vinyl based plastisols and will react similar in nature.

Because each Mr. Whiggley is different, it depends. Do you have a blank you have made up?

If you have a blank made, let me know and I can instruct you on how to measure the volume. With the volume, we can then calculate approximately how many you can make.

OK, this is rough at best. Assuming the Lure tapers from .5 inches to nothing, using 1.25" as an average height, then 9" for a length, you get 3.51 cubic inches.

3.51 in^3 is 58 cc 's or 58 ml.

You would get about 65 of your wiggles from a gallon.

Of course this assumes no waist, etc.

PS, 3.51 cubic inches is 58 CC or MP.
