Predator Bass Baits

Hey Guy's I got my pressure pot fired up today, ( I will post pics soon ) Anyway I had to use it. I have 10 molds that are 5 1/4" 4 pours. After 200 baits the molds were getting hot and then my worms would not pour right. the top 3/4 to 1" would get a void or loose spot, it was not from trapping air, I kept trying and the next 125 baits everyone of them had them so I had to quit, , sure wish I would have quit before that many. Is it possible the molds are just to hot ? They did not seem that hot as I have run 100 baits with my presto pot with no problems and those molds seemed hotter ? Or could it have been the plastic was to cold ? Any help would be great.

I have 21 aluminum 2 piece molds and 15 one piece aluminum molds with 8 plasters and 6 rtv

Everything is done, I am just waiting on the heat band to get here. I have a up-grade for your pot if you would like. Were that rubber grommet is I drilled it out and put a plug in it so you can remove it and pour plastic,color,salt without opening up the lid, I think it will be a big help for salt as you can have the motor running and stirring as you pour the salt in. I also can make you a base cover to go over your wood base out of PVC plastic so silicone molds will slide around on it without using paper and I can make you a slide for your 2 piece worm molds to run in. I will post pics as soon as I can.

James, do you mean $90 ? what HP ? Torque ? RPM did you get ?

I did not see anything that would work for me with a quick look, This is what I bought http://www.bodine-electric.com/Asp/ProductModel.asp?Context=13&Name=24A-Z%20Series%20Parallel%20Shaft%20DC%20Gearmotor&Model=0159&Sort=11207 The ac Motor on the LC pot is a 1/20 horse power. This is the speed controller I got with it. http://www.bodine-electric.com/Asp/ProductModel.asp?Context=20&Name=Filtered+PWM+DC+Basic+Speed+Control&Model=0790

Keep a eye out on E-bay for one ? I bought one that is 58 rpm and it is not fast enough, It only raises the salt halfway. I do not know if a 83 RPM will be, it might ? I would like to know if it is because I see allot of them on e-bay. I know on the pressure pots that Lure craft offers it is a 96 RPM AC moter and that works. Grainger sells them for $120 Do not waist your money on a AC/DC speed controller if you go that route, (single phase AC gear motors you only get 10% reduction in speed, And I doubt you get that. AC speed controllers work for 3 phase motors ) You will need a speed controller for DC gear motors over 96 RPM I have a 139 rpm DC Gear motor with speed control I purchase new for $450 just 2 weeks ago. I could not find a DC motor that was lower then this, the next was 83 rpm And I did allot of searching. Let me know how it works if you go with the 83 RPM DC gearmotor.

The hole (Stem ) might be bigger ?

I bought one, Being first time using it I probably did not use it correctly ? It seemed to use alot of paint and did not cover good, I ended up using it to spray glitter and had better luck.

I have had one for about 6 years, I used it last year for plastic but I do not think it was accurate this way. Verify it with a regular temp measuring tool to see if it is.

I would not say there is a safe way to inject, I have been using this here is the link http://www.tackleunderground.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7745&page=3&highlight=syringe I am working on a pressure pot that you can open pour and inject with.

What mold is it, I might want it.

You can probably get away with 330 deg if pouring worms and such but if you want to pour the 2 piece frogs it will need to be 350 and maybe + you will know because the feet will not fill until it is hotter. If you can pour a perfect bait at 300deg then do it.

I got 200 from e-bay for about $29 shipped, they have more listed . I could not make them that cheap.

Anyone living in Ohio check out this link for a spinning pegboard. Sure wish I was closer http://cgi.#########/Spinning-Retail-Rack-Peg-Board-Unusual-Shelving_W0QQitemZ220088245594QQcategoryZ109434QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Man I cannot believe how much trouble you guy's are having, I have the presto pot version and it works great.

Just to give a up-date, I hope to have my version of this pot done in 2 weeks, I am waiting on the heat band. This unit will be very nice, no short cuts were taken. All wiring will be in a UL rated box, plus I am using a correct speed controlled motor. Del mentioned you could build one of these for $500, well I hope no one attempts it unless your good at dumpster raids, LOL

If you want translucent baits use non-flowered salt. Powdered salt will be opaque.

Shawn does not really have a website to display his molds, your better off calling or e-mailing him. I have been having him make me some. He is a bit more Money but he answers e-mails. One of the companies you mentioned above you had better call, If you send a e-mail to him your more then likely to not get a question answered.

I have the 5" I sent you a PM

This machine does not have fancy machine work, it is in like a 2 or 3" nipple with fittings to hold both sides of the lid. the rod is 1/4" and the inside of the pipe fittings is 1/4" and it does leak air but not very much at all. All he did was drill a hole in the lid put a pipe fitting on top with a fitting on the botoom of the lid and used a nipple to make it longer, Brass was used for this.

Both, inject and open pour so yes it would need to be air driven, what injection do you have ? The pot By looking at dels link on his site is $159. The pot I got from LC came with a book and I looked up the website, they want $270, and it looks like it is the same pot. http://www.pressurecooker-outlet.com/americancooker.htm https://store.wafco.com/ezmerchant/home.nsf

Ya I seen your post on your website but it seems that it is not complete ? questions were asked but never answered.

So you use the paint can listed then ? do you heat it with the heat band as well ? any secrets you want to share for parts ?

No they did not clamp any wires down, That paint can is cheap, Would it work with plastic ? The Aluminum preasure pot for a 2 1/2 gal is $280 Heat element and temp controller is about $560 the AC motor is $120 a DC motor is $290, open box speed control is $50, closed box speed control is $160 I figured what I received from L C has about $1100 in material.
