Hi Mike,
The reason I started was because there was a color of plastic (smoke with purple glitter) that I couldn't find anywhere. I did a lot of research and bought my supplies from lurecraft, but just like any other hobby it is easy to go off the deep end. I really haven't done too bad, it is just the heating of the plastic that is kind of tough. I purchased a Lee Plastic warmer - Lead production pot, not too good for plastic but I can use it for jigs. I only use a microwave to heat the plastic. But for the most part it is a very fun hobby.
