Beautiful work.

Is this done with a hand pour mold, and allowing the yellow to cool a little before pouring the olive?

It's a injection mold. I pour the green pumpkin into the spru hole and inject the chartreuse.

Those are beautiful baits!

Do you mean the injected chartreuse pushed past the hand poured GP and gets to the bottom of the mold?

Wow, that' terrific!

What temps were your plastics?  

Did you do one cavity at a time?

So many questions, so little time!  Hahaha

Don't know the exact temps but I like the color I'm pouring a little thicker so it doesn't just run into the cavities. I do this with a two cavity. It has one cavity on each side of the spru.

Well, however you do it, you are a magician!  I can't get that idea out of my head, so I'm sure I'll try it myself soon.

Thanks.

I'm totally going to try this. Been trying to figure out how way to get this effect with an injection mold. Your results are amazing.

One more thing you usually have to make the outside color quite a bit darker than normal because it's just a skin coat and the inside color  will come through

I'll be happy if my second color even fills the mold.  I usually struggle with trying to get past colder plastic once it begins to cool in the mold.

Do you heat your mold?

No heat. I start with a cold mold. It goes pretty easy.

I wasn't able to get that effect.  I think it's because my molds are injection molds, with offset sprues.

My brush hog mold has one cavity on each side of the spru. Single cavities work good.  I've done it on 4 cavity molds but ya have to use a old piece of spru to block some cavities.

I'll give it another shot, but I'm waiting for it cool down a little.  100+ here yesterday.
