Process:
In the example below I am making two 46g two layered soft plastics. So in this case that will take 92g of material. The bottom layer is deeper and will use about 60% of that and the top layer is only about 7mm thick so it will use only the remaining 40 % of material. For each colour I also add about 30g of extra of material to account for the material that will not pour out of the pyrex heating jugs. So doing the math the total volume I cook for the thicker base is 60% of 92g plus a further 30g which is 86g and for the 5mm top layer its 40% of 92g plus 30g which is only 67g.
The material that remains in the plastic jug along with soft plastics that have been damaged etc can be added to the materials your cooking up for new soft plastics but I recommend that you restrict that to only around 1/3 of the material your cooking up ... the remaining part of the material being cooked up is of course plastersol.
Plastersol liquid soft plastic comes in soft, medium and hard forms and for these soft plastics I use only the hard form.

These are big soft plastics for big barra. I make them in just 6 colours and fish them in Awoonga Dam which is of course a freshwater impoundment. I also fish them in coastal barra waters including Gladstone Harbor and the Narrows.{{end}}
