You can also flood the mold and over pour it with real hot plastic,you will then have to trim the lure of the flash

I dont believe dryer sheets or fiberglass sheets will support any large cracks that why I use wood strips one half inch thick,2 inches wide and they run the full length of the mold and are epoxied to the outside of the mold,I run a lure making buisiness and these molds are used daily for over ten years,i have done the mesh thing when pouring the molds but it wont help you when you drop the mold,it falls and cracks,you need to stiffen it up on the outside,have had them crack from falling but it never effected the mold!!!You could even go one step further and epoxt wood strips on the sides of the molds also for a bullet proof mold,I never ever had to though!!!

I dont do hair but all my water putty molds get coated on the outside with 2 ton epoxy and then wood slats applied to the outside over the epoxy,if they should ever crack they will not fall apart,it keeps them together,I have had the same molds for over 10 years using this process

I have had the same problem with a large Frog mold I have,10 inches long and the frog weights 8 ounces,The only way I could make it work was to pour each side of the bait with the mold open then close it and inject the center,on such large baits you end up pushing the internal air that's in the molds,not even sure you could vent it properly as it takes a large injector,maybe if you were machine injecting you could vent it properly,anyway this way works for me

Just wanted to add if your using epoxy to coat your mold than you can use almost anything including wood filler,bondo,even epoxy to fill the holes before you apply the sealer coat
-
You did not mention what your mold was made of,if its made of plaster than yes you can,I have done this many times,you can also use epoxy,wood filler,ive used those also

Hit the dull baits with a small propane torch,shines them up real fast,they look wet,way faster and works better than any spray or just put some worm oil in the bag
-
Just a quick note I bought 3 different injectors from basstackle over the years and each one was supposed to be 5/8th,well they are but not any piece from one will interchange with the other,meaning the nozzles will not fit each other,small size differences,you would think they would be the same but they are not!
-
Im using the essential clear hard from do it,I get cups of clear non bubble plastic in my microwaves,in fact the clearest plastic I have used yet and reheats are clear also!
-
Yes many lure craft colors have changed,what I don't like is you do not know it until you purchase them and then find out,buy in small size and sample first so you don't have any large quantities of unwanted colors as I did

Ive been pouring as a business for about 9 years now so im no newbie,and this is not intended to start a plastic war or to bash any company,just wanted to get that out of the way,For the most part I have been using lurecraft plastic,I switched to the salt water plastic they carry about 3 years ago,loved the stuff,over the past few years each batch I purchased seemed to vary in hardness and consistency,the last 2 batches have smelled strongly of petroleum smell,contacted lurecraft and nothing has changed they say,well my customers are complaining and I noticed it,I pour a lot so I will know if it changed,anyway looking for imput,who makes a real durable plastic,salt water tough that has lo odor,low smoke,doesnt burn easily,I know its a lot to ask but ive used the lurecraft so long its all I know,I did try the essential a few weeks ago but its too soft for my liking ,please chime in,I will be asking for samples from manufaturers but just wanted to get some imputmthanx

You can also hit the baits with a small propane torch,shines them up everytime with one pass,I still use the torch from time to time on dull baits from dull molds,they shine even better!!!
-
Dont stir it,i never touched mine and no bubbles at all,1200 watt microwave on high also
-
Just recieved my order,I tried it with our floating additive,our old plastic was too stiff,this plastic with the floating additive is perfect,baits are very soft and not stiff,love it!!!

When I say over pour I dont mean too much but I found it a whole lot faster when your pouring large orders for customers to trim the bait than to pour a slow stream of plastic into every mold,just my way to speed things up,I know how to pour all these molds but just a whole lot faster with great results,just another way to do things
