It looks as if there is more of the crown of the tail in the vent. What if you block off the right side of the vent next to the tail with some clay ( or something easily removed. ) to keep more of the plastic shooting toward the inside of the mold. Or keep the first 2 cavities full and shoot just the last cavity to see how it fills.

You might try shooting some air in the claws with a hypodermic needle.
-
Same style we use. It works great.
-
Yes, seriously, it works quite well.

I run all my leftover through a meat grinder then remelt.it works great. Just get a cheap one from a yard sale. (Mine came from harbor freight.)

Just ordered my guards. Will go to bass pro for some lead. Thanks for the info smalljaw. That helps a lot. I usually buy my jigs but couldn't pass this mold up. I've been pouring plastic for several years but this is new. Thanks to everyone for your help.
-
I'll check them out. Thanks.
-
That makes sense. I'll give it a try tomorrow. Thanks for your help cadman.
-
Thank you cadman. This is the mold I have.

I picked this mold up from an estate auction, it didn' have anything with it so I'm starting out green ( really green.) . I have never poured lead so I've been reading and watching some videos when I saw the base pins. Is there a standard size for a 3/8 round head mold? Don't want to reduce the size. Also saw where a guy used a drill bit in place of a pin but he modified the mold.

How do I find the size base pin for a 3/8 hilts mold for a RH 38-2 fiber guard?

If they are injected, I leave them hanging for 2 days, for hand pour I lay them on wax paper for 2 days. No problems so far.

Be patient. I told my partners when you own your own business, you only have to work 1/2 a day. Just pick what 12 hours you want to work. Just dont try to grow to fast, take your time.

So if you send someone a package 2 day priority with conformation and it takes the post office 4 days, is it your fault? I don't think so. You can't blame the business for USPS shortcomings. Once it leaves their facility, they have no control over shipping.

You can also pick up aluminum flashing at lows or home depot. Real cheap and easy to work with.
-
Always get the largest you can afford. ( you will need it as you increase the number of molds you have.)
-
The bottom line is to do your own due diligence with a tax professional. The government WILL get his. Good luck to you all.
-
Also check yor state tax code for inventory tax. Raw material is a tax deduction but once you make a lure, it's a salable product and inventory tax would be due.

The roller blades work great. We also have carpet blades mounted in a can crusher from harbor freight and use gum rubber to press against.
-
Yeah, I sure didn't "read " anything in that statement.
-
We always dipped the orange and then the green pumpkin right after. Never tried the injected tubes.
-
Yup, just purchased the 6oz injector. He shipped it out the same day.
-
I would like a price on both models please.

That's right, if you make it, uncle Sam wants his $$$.

Unless you want to spend several hours per week doing paperwork... well, you know the rest lol.
