Tomato/potato.... It's actually called a blending block. Its primary purpose is for shooting laminates but you can also get it to do other things as Frank has explained.

I do it a little different. I make the form and pour 1/4 inch of remelted left over plastic in it and let it set up. Once it's cooled I brush my masters with mend-it and secure them to the plastic. I've never had very good luck with tape as som part of the master always seems to come loose when pouring the rtv.

Wiring a PID into your presto pot eliminates a lot of the heating issues. I put raw plastic in the pot, turn on the stirrer, and set the PID to 350 and let it run. Once it hits 350 I turn the PID down to 300 - 310 and when it gets there I add my colorant and flake and shoot.

We've told you what is known to work. Anything else is a gamble on your part. You may save a couple bucks or you may waste the purchase price trying to save a couple bucks.

The guy on the other side of the pond makes an awesome twerk copy.

Looking at the picture, the output shaft is on the wrong side of the gearbox. Aside from that, without knowing the specs, or if you could switch the output it's really a crapshoot.

Lureworks sells by the gallon. https://www.ispikeit.com/category/70/scents MF sells by the gallon or 5 gallons. https://www.pouryourownworms.com/Scented-Worm-Oil-Bait-Marinades_c17.htm

I think you'll find the one Travis mentioned to be the most common. There are some folks that have used stepper motors as well.
-
Looks like they're selling ultra molds as well. No idea how long that's been since I don't usually look in that section.
-
I would but he really doesn't have anything I want. His super high speed offset presto pot stirrer looked interesting but it's not even shown on the site now.
-
They haven't had a lot of things "in stock" since long before covid....

I won't ship less than 100 baits... Just not worth it. Charge a fair price for the baits and have the buyer pay the $7.00 or so shipping... It's well worth their while to buy 300 or so at a time.

Del made an awesome 6.75 cut tail mold...

I usually use the padded flat rate envelopes. You can fit more in them that the regular flat rate envelopes or the small flat rate boxes for the same cost.
-
If you want something similar to the rage craw look at the BTS 706.
-
Spray some wd-40 in the tube, push a rag through it once or twice and you're good to go.

Cheap is never good and good is never cheap...

Yes, they do. I have one injector dedicated to shooting with glass beads. Inside is pretty scratched up but still works great.

If I remember correctly, Bait Plastics is the manufacturer of polysol. Dead On used sell polysol under their label, but now use a different supplier. I currently use Bait Plastics and haven't had any issues with it.

You need to heat the plastic to 350 for it to fully convert. When I cook plastic, I take it to 350 and add my colorant. Then I let it cool to 320 - 330 before I add glitter and pour. Subsequent reheats don't need to go over 320 or whenever the plastic just gets pourable again.
-
What temp are you pouring at? The cooler the plastic, the better the glitter will stay suspended.
-
I disassemble the glue gun and thread the end where the stick goes in to screw onto the valve outlet. When I'm using the pot I have the glue gun tip plugged in and never have any issues with the plastic flowing.
-
Only one I've ever used is the one on the website. He always calls back in a day or three. He has a facebook presence as well.
-
I drill the hole between the element and the outside edge of the pot. I also take the element out of a hot glue gun and adapt it to the outlet of the spout. It keeps the nozzle clear all the time.
-
I use mine mostly for hand pour molds.
