You really need to get it to 350 degrees bud. You might not think 5 degrees makes a difference but it does on the initial cooking. And make certain you shake the heck out of the jug an hour or so before you mix a batch.
I just tried my first batch of essential plastic after trying plastic sol. I never got it over 345 degrees it never really solidified. Poured into molds after it cooled off the baits are very soft and not very tough. Did I mess up something? Or is this the characteristics of this plastic? Thanks

Ctom thanks for the advice I will make sure I get it to at least 350. Another question you may be able to answer since it stays pretty much a liquid do you still inject or do you just pour it in?
You can hand pour any mold that allows it or you can inject it. Its a versatile plastic and when cooked to the 350 degrees initially will have a lot of elasticity to it....its a tough plastic. It has very little cooking odor too.
Talked to Jordan at do-it today told me I have a bad batch of plastic and they had to return couple barrels of it themselves. He is shipping me a new box. Just wanted to say he was very nice and couldn't ask for better service.

Yeah I don't think 5 degrees is going to make or break the cook as many times 345 is all I get mine to and no problems.
Well got a new batch of the essential plastic. What a difference this is some good stuff! Made couple batches very little odor seems like it took the color better than the other. Very pleased.

Yup. Shake, then let rest for a while so the bubbles settle down.
