Any and all fans will work much better if you pour in a booth.. It will draw air from one side and not allow anything to escape. Pics are before I bought the fan.

I bought an 8 inch hydroponics fan... It's great. I use a router speed control from harbor freight to control for less cfms when I want.

I'm not sure that that is the problem, But looks like when I get time I will try that. I have 100's of do it molds and this one is the only one that does it.

I have poured over 1000 on each mold and they stick just as much as when brand new....

It's not going to come through grass well with an open hook regardless of line tie location.

I read and understood it the first time.... I should not have to "fix" a new mold... Especially all of them. I use drop out spray and it is no help.

You must not understand... I have several of these molds and they all do it... It is a design flaw... Not just 1 bad mold. If they replace all 3 of mine, I'll just have 3 more with the same problem....

I'm not talking about stable.... Balance point front to back... All the weight would be behind the axis/pivot point.

Move the line tie forward? Easy modification. You will loose the center balance an the baits action most likely change some.

This mold is the worst I have ever had for lead sticking inside. Drop out has not helped much. I believe it is from the squared off bottom. I don't want to round off the mold as I like how the bait is flat and helps stand it up on the bottom. Using hard lead definitely makes it even harder to get out. It should not be this hard and nobody should have to "fix" the mold after they buy one. After the sprue breaks off, I grab the skid and rock it back in forth with pliers, But it messes up the lead visually. Very disappointed in this mold. I have several of them and they all do it.

I have heard people using a hot glue gun injecting into the mold instead of lead. JannsNetCraft is about 80 miles from where I live in Michigan.

They have been great to me......... I still order from them, Even though I had a problem in the past.

You must use better plumbers putty... LOL... I quit using it. I started using this as a much better temporary option.. https://www.rotometals.com/casting-retainer-putty-1-pound/

Plumbers putty melts and fails after the mold gets hot... Works good for small sessions though.

I think the OP was asking about different brand molds... Not the do it molds sold at many places.

Need glasses? LOL >>> http://www.lurepartsonline.com/Online-Store/Eagle-Claw-Jig-Hooks/Premium-Eagle-Claw-Lazer-L2706BP-Jig-Hooks.html

sand blasting with walnut shells works for some people.

You wasted your money and talent on that garbage... That's too bad.. Practice or not. That bait would have been awesome if you got what you paid for.

Genuine? LOL.... My money is GENUINE and if the problem is not solved..... Arms get twisted. On a forum or anywhere else I feel needed.... Sellers might consider this before they brush a customer off, While they keep my money.

For $5 I would buy the pull pin... http://store.do-itmolds.com/Pull-Pin-PEG-332--_p_916.html

What company? I have had something similar happen, But both times I was fixed up... After some arm twisting.

Jegs and Summit racing is where I have bought it most times... Now LPO sells it. http://www.lurepartsonline.com/Online-Store/Liquid-Topcoats/Diamond-Finish-Thinner.html

Yes... That is what they sell it for.... But the Xylol/Xylene works as good and cheaper and easier to find at your local home center or hardware store.
