What Type of Salt?

[Captain Obvious]

I was just wondering if there was a specific type of salt I needed to add to my plastics or is just regular old table salt fine?

Well it depends.  IMO if your pouring your plastic with salt you might want something finer.  Especially senkos.  Not sure on injectors though.

I mostly use table salt but I dont pour senkos.

Finer crystal table salt sold in supermarkets suspends longer in plastic giving you more time to pour at least four cavities without stirring.

Coarse table salt gives the plastic a Senko-like texture but it much harder to keep suspended in the pouring container. I've found that I have to start with my pyrex cups half full, stir fast and then pour fast a few cavities at a time.

Just remember (if you don't already know) that the more salt, the more softener needed or the bait will become much harder in a few days and have no action on the drop.

Thanks guys.

I've never used salt before because I like my plastics to float so this is a first time deal. Thanks for the tip on the softener Sam you just saved me from making a rookie mistake.

Two things I'd recommend:  Kosher salt and a coffee grinder

You can make the salt into powder with a coffee grinder and it only takes a few seconds.

Kosher salt has way less impurities that regular table salt.
