Hi Amit,

Plastisol ... um ... well, I sure hope that you are heat curing this otherwise it'll stay sloppy wet for a long time.... surely you must have received some advice from the supplier ... if not, change him !

Plastisol is a monomer, isn't it? To become a polymer, you'd need heat.

But once 'cured', I don't think that you'll find it will absorb moisture.
