One tip is turn the music down or off. Check 9:40 we can't hear you over the music. AWESOME setup 👍🏼

[@Piratebaitcompany]

thank you for bringing that to my attention...I wasn't even aware there was music there. I'm still kind of a rookie at this youtube gig!

Amazon and a ton of other places have luer lock bottles make sure you check the ml capacity.. with the syringe in after shaking turn the bottle upside down draw and purge a few times to burp the air out one down fall would be making labels for each bottle after you fill it but the benefits out weigh that. screw the syringe back on use it as the cap . avoid the risk of knocking a bottle over with no cap I use to mix e-cig liquid I've had the rubber insert seperate from the plunger causing me to punch a bottle while using a syringe in an open top bottle .shop smelt like pina colada for a few days lol

[@Piratebaitcompany]

Thanks for the info. I"ll check out the luer lock bottles. Sorry to hear about the pina colada! lol!

G'day mate, I found this video extremely interesting and one I enjoyed also happy to like and subscribe and am looking forward to future videos.

[@Piratebaitcompany]

Awesome, thank you! I post every friday, so look for more in the future.

Put syringe in color push air out then draw up

[@Piratebaitcompany]

Thank you! I think that was the problem...i wasn't pushing the air out before i drew the color in.

[@LarryDean903]

Do you reuse the syringe, clean them out?

[@Piratebaitcompany]

Yes, i'll use them multiple times for the same color. Eventually though they become caked up with colorant and don't operate properly

[@jqcargle]

Could you share the cheat sheet?😁

[@Piratebaitcompany]

Actually, I think what I'm going to do is post the formula as I'm making the bait.

[@jqcargle]

@@Piratebaitcompany Thanks that will work!

Not to discredit you but these plastics melt and react with other plastics. Need to get medical grade silicone plastics that dont melt, tear or react with anything else. We make them in Australia 👌

[@Piratebaitcompany]

Hi Kizzjd9578. I think you might have my products confused with another that's on the market. Pirate Bait Company products don't react with other plastics and they don't melt. They may tear from a fish strike or if you pull on them really hard. The plastisol that I use is used by all major soft plastic manufacturers with exception of one company that I'm aware of. Thank you though for your comments Tim K. - Owner: Pirate Bait Company

Hi @kidzzjd9578. Your comment is not correct. Sorry. all good but didn’t want people to think the wrong thing. These are good old plastisol baits that we love. You are thinking of TPE baits. Zman is TPE. Custom bait makers like pirate use plastisol which is a plasticised PVC. The reason the zman baits look like they are melting is because the of plasticiser migration from other soft plastics. Silicone is a different material again. TPE and Plastisol are both thermoplastics. Silicone is a thermoset so it won’t melt again after being vulcanised/heated once. Which is why it’s often not used in production baits.

[@Piratebaitcompany]

Thank you for the additional comment! I really appreciate you clarifying.
