If I could buy what I wanted commercially from Red October or anywhere else I wouldn't be dipping them. But I can't. I may try the horizontal method next but I like the results I've gotten from the first round of vertical dipping.

I found a tall, skinny, "briefcase" type stainless thermos at Target for $9.99 that I am trying. It holds roughly 2 cups of plastic. I heat it in the oven before pouring in the plastic. I still have to warm the plastic periodically in the microwave, but I'm brand new at this, so I may be able to turn the hot plate up higher. I just haven't wanted to risk bvurning the plastic. It lets me dip my 8" lake trout tubes.

Thanks everyone. This is just the kind of info that I was looking for.

Hi Everyone-- I'm getting ready to try to start pouring or dipping some tubes. The ones I want to make are two colored (tail different color from the body). How do I do that? Thanks in advance.
