I walk you through the entire process, including: Unboxing and Assembly: See what comes in the kit, from the molds to the power supply. Heating & Agitation: How the automated system handles plastisol (liquid plastic) transformation without the fumes or the risk of scorching. Injection Testing: We test different hardnesses (0A, 20A, and 40A) and even try recycling old soft plastic lures.
