You may want to check your local Auto and/or boat repair shop for a different looking fleck.

You might want to try a boat repair shop. They also have some colors not supplied by the usual supplier's.

702 hands down.
-
First time I've seen it. Looks interesting. It would be handy for small batch runs
-
When it comes to taxes, check with your state as any finished product is taxable as salable inventory. As long as you have raw material, you can take a tax deduction. Just don't hold a lot of finished inventory at the end of the year.

Go ahead and get the tip mold also. ( you're going to want it, trust me.)
-
I just ordered the tip mold for the 702. It is by far the best craw mold out there. It may take a while to get your order but it's worth the wait.
-
I use natural search salt and put it in a blender to powder it. It stays suspended in the plastic better. That's sea salt.(spell check nailed me again lol.)

anybody know how to post a pic using a dell desk top? This computer is smarted than I am. Also when I try to post an image it says file to large. Go figure
-
I have a sample of a 10" stick bait and can't find any information about it. It has the machining lines on one side and it's smooth on the other side. Also has a tapered tail. (Almost a pencil tail.)I'll try to post a pic.

Locking pins are a must. Don't trust myself without them.
-
They work good and have good action.
-
Can't go wrong with the blending block when you need numbers.
-
Try easing up a little on the softener and lay them on wax paper for 48 hours to cool and set up. That's what we had to do and it works real well.
-
I like the dual injectors. As far as the laminated left over plastic, I just add black and use it for my black color baits.
-
I have 60 open pour silicone molds I'm getting rid of. They are just taking up space. All are used but work fine. Made by Lure craft. I can email pics, just can't upload from my phone. They are listed on ebay and there are pics of all of the molds. Thanks,
-
Cooked in has always produced better for our baits.
-
These are 3" craw jig trailor molds. I have 5 available. Can't load pics. Says file to big. I can email or text pics, just send me your info. Thanks for looking.
-
Thanks Vodkaman, I just ordered a veg-o-matic. (Won't use the wifes.) That may dice them to the right size.
-
Does anyone know of a small grinder that is used to grind the leftover plastic ? Cutting with scissors is a pain.
-
We Farm it out and pay .12 cents per bag. To get our tubes to stand up in the bag. We took a hair pick, removed every other prong, slide the tubes onto the pick, bag over tubes and remove.
-
We mix our color to the plastic before heating. It's easier for us to pour what we need as we mix 1 gal at a time of our best colors.

Where Do You Guys Get Your Bags For Packaging?
Driftwood replied to jboquet23's topic in Soft Plastics
Make sure you get a reverse printed laminated bag orherwise, the print will start to peel away from the bag. -
The 3 oz is much easier to work with. I would start with that one and work my way up if needed.
