ThermoLure™ SOFT is a clear hand pour non-phthalate fishing lure soft plastic compound. It is a liquid form of vinyl known as plastisol, that is cured by heat to form a solid end-product. Plastisol is a dispersions of PVC resin in plasticizers that is modified with other raw materials to yield a clear, flexible, soft plastic, rubber-like material.

Shake well.

Towards the end of the heating cycle, use short bursts (10-seconds at a time) to reach the desired temperature of 320-350° F (160°-180° C). You can then add colors and glitter. Mix well and inject or pour into molds.
CAUTION
