I'm just trying to understand... You wanted to just shoot a single bait some times instead of the full mold? Bob must have thought you wanted a hand pour for some reason because very few of his molds are hand pour. You can still do laminates with that mold the old fashioned way: open the mold, pour one side, close the mold and pour the other half. Personally I prefer side inject for sticks. In my mind, the salt,sand, whatever would tend to sink towards the tail in the vertical baits making them a tad tail heavy as opposed to the side inject where it would tend to sink towards the side of the bait evenly along the length of the bait. I could be all wet in that theory but in my mind it's possible.

Does anyone have a copy of that pdf file of color recipes that's floating around? Mine must have gotten deleted accidentally at some point... Thanks

There's a fine balance between pouring the second color too soon and too late. Too soon and you won't get that sharp delineation between colors that some folks want. Too late and you get cold cracks that allow the baits to separate at the laminate line. When I'm doing laminates in open pour silicone molds, I never do more than 2 cavities at a time.

Some mold makers will do that, some won't. Looking at the various websites you will see that some designs are much more refined than others....

I think it depends on what you're using it for. I primarily pour jigs for myself. I might pour 20 at a time (so less than a pound of lead at a sitting). It's much more economical to heat 10 pounds of lead than 20 pounds when you're only going to us 1 pound. If you were going to pour 15 pounds of lead at a shot I'm sure the 20 pound pot would be a better choice.

Tyvek?

Yeah, brain tumors and hurricanes will do that to you. You guys are unreal sometimes...

Just for discussion sake, once you buy something does the seller have any say on what you do with it? I mean, say a guy buys 1000 bags of speed craws from Zoom. Does zoom have any recourse if he chooses to resell them, would he need their permission to do so?

Unless I'm remembering incorrectly, platinum cure won't work with a plastisol master, but tin cure will.

I actually like the current theme. Clean looking and easy to read / navigate.

Have you tried calling Bob and asking?

The flat bottom and thickness of the tail make it almost certainly open pour. Why not just make your own mold?

Lureworks uses the word colorant to identify a non-bleed color and dye to identify a color that will bleed.

I've never had a problem with getting molds from Del. I talked to him a couple weeks ago and he said he was swamped with aerospace work. That's big bucks stuff and I wouldn't expect that he would have a machine cutting molds when it could be doing high dollar work.

Z... Please let David know I think of him often and that he and his family are in my thoughts and prayers.

What's your favorite pb&j recipe?

Same here and I cut it in the smallest pieces possible.

I know Bear's wasn't. Not sure about Jason's.

That was it, thanks. I kept thinking polysol, but knew that wasn't it.

I've never used degassed plastisol or had problems with bubbles. I've poured calhoun, chemionics, mf, and one that del used to sell but the name escapes me.

There are two styles. of KVD triple grip trebles.. The standard ones and the 1x strong 2x short.

I use wd-40 to clean pots and cups.

Time for a new monitor I guess. I see black w/ blue flake and blue w/ blue flake. LOL
