Allan, I've never "poured" my own worms...so i really can't remember...I know for bulk manufacturing purposes they just add the amount of plasticizer they want and warm it up till it flows a bit and inject (one of my friends had a plastic bait business down here, which he eventually sold). I'd have to look at the kits to tell which part is which and how they work. Not likely to do so, since I've never been a grreat fan of worm fishing.

Wes,
Actually what makes the stuff strange isn't the plastic, it's the plasticizer in it. The worms are essentially PVC with a very large amount of plasticizer. What makes the difference between PVC pipe, old vinyl records, "vinyl" upholstery, and plastic worms is mainly the amount of plasticizer in the product (in the list above increases from none (PVC pipe) to a huge amount (plastic worms)). The plasticizer in the plastic worms is what makes them pliable and the stuff leaches out and will destroy non-"worm-proof" plastics and nice varnish finishes on wood...
Soooooo. Does 'worm-stuff' come as two-part mixes? Can you tell which is the plasticizer? Can you just use 1/4 (or less) of the plasticizer? Is warm weather ever going to come back? Can you tell I'm already tired of winter?
