I am very new to soft plastic's myself. But am in Missouri, how ever I will suggest going up to the stickies at the top and read all the safety threads their. Plastic is very hot, and very sticky if it gets on you. Kinda like hot grits. Another good read is over on the do-it mold site. You have come to a very good place here at crappy.com to learn. Everyone here is very helpful, I have learned if you want an answer you have to ask, but recommend doing a search in these threads as it's probably been asked at least once. It's just a bit of research and a little bit of time. Welcome to the making of soft plastic's...
