I don't use a respirator when doing a few short runs but if I'm running several hundred pieces, I do wear one. An exhaust fan will do wonders and is a lot more cost friendly.

Nice looking tubes. Looks like a clean cut on the tails.
-
Thanks, looks like the scrap will have to go the hand pour route.
-
I should clarify... This pertains to re- heating of scrap.Thanks in advance.

This will be my first time using minnow silver coloring. Question is, will I be able to heat it in the microwave or will it arc. It looks to have the flake already added.

Chartreuse, red, and pumpkinseed.

Try lure craft and spike it for coloring and glitter. Stay away from the craft glitter as it has a tendency to melt at high temps. Double check the supplier list.

5 artifical stone (Ukraine) vs 2-3 aluminum
Driftwood replied to Bholtzinger14's topic in Soft Plastics
I would go with aluminum. -
You can also use gum rubber .

Grind or cut the used plastic up and it will reheat much better. Also, when reheating in the microwave, stir the plastic once or twice. This will help keep it from scorching.

If you have settling in the bottom of the container, that's what needs to be mixed thoroughly each time you use it.

Try Harry-O. He is in Louisville, ky.

Are you adding heat stabilizer?

Same here.

702 craw mold 2 or 4 cavity. 3.75 size. Thanks, Gary

Yea, I was wondering how would a craw mold do? How many cavities?

Try bison bags. They do a reverse print laminate zipper bag. Fairly reasonable price and set up. Web site is bisonbag.com. They are located in Lockport NY.

If there is any type of lard or hog fat added to the baits, it will leach out if left in the sun for a prolonged time and cause a discoloration. Other than that, you should be good to go.

Try Jim at FM baits in leitchfield, kentucky. He usually will do small batch runs if he is still in business.
-
We weigh all of our colors in grams. When mixing for large runs, the color will always be consistent. The same holds true for smaller batch runs also.
-
Vegetable oil.
-
We use 12 of these pots and the heat coupler is different on each one. We stay around the 5 or 6 mark to keep from burning it.

As long as you don't call it a senko.

Been using this method over 13 years and never had a problem with bubbles...
